Jessie Graff Instagram – So grateful to be back competing on @ninjawarrior ! And this time, with my mom @ginnymaccoll !!! If you haven’t seen last week’s episode yet, spoiler alerts! Go catch up now! Win: this was the first time I’ve made it to the 5th obstacle without feeling even a little pumped! My grip was so fresh and ready! Room for growth: I had a unique strategy that no one else had tried, which had the potential to save me time and energy. Rather than hold a left hand lockoff, while trying to turn the cube with the thin ledges on the front side, i planned to swing forward and grab any one of the three large jugs on the right side of the cube. My big mistake was not choosing which one to reach for and aiming precisely. I swatted between two jugs and missed both. If i had thought about how (nearly) impossible it would be for me to hold on to a slippery plastic flat ledge on a one armed back swing, i might not have chosen to take that risk. So in hind sight, I do wish I’d taken the more standard path. But i had so much fun strategizing for this obstacle, and wish i could try it again! Thank you so much #americanninjawarrior for another opportunity to solve puzzles and test my limits! I definitely grew stronger and smarter through this challenge!
