If Kacy took part in Sasuke 30

She wouldnt get out of the first stage, whether you think its super easy or not, I don't see her getting through the JHK, DWW and Lumberjack Climb quickly which is what you need to do to have enough time to finish.

How about actually giving me a reason why you think this way if you want your opinion to be valued! Your whole point was "she wont do things quickly to have enough time to finish". Nada! 

Jump Hang Kai is barley an obstacle. Unless she misses the tramp their is no way she would fail that or not do it quickly.    

She might get stuck on the 2nd WW. But it would have no affect on her time.  She would either do it or fail it.  

Lumberjack climb is also barley an obstacle. They should make it a few feet wider and make it more of a flexibility challenge rather than a infant's grip strength challenge.  She would do the lumberjack climb probably faster than anyone we saw in sasuke 31.

Here's my opinion of Kacy. She did accomplish something cool and she is a good athlete. That said, I think that so many people in their hurry to throw their support behind a woman have failed to view her objectively as a competitor. The truth is, she is slow. As has been pointed out by many posters, the city final was not timed, so she didn't have to go fast there. However, that's not the only evidence of her being slow. In regard to her run at Vegas, people seem to like to focus on the fact that she failed on a difficult obstacle, and one that maybe wasn't very suited to her size. But looking at the time, even if she had passed the Jumping Spider, if she kept going at the same pace she definitely would have timed out IMO. She simply doesn't appear to have the speed to make it out of the 1st stage of ANW or Sasuke.

Fair argument, this inspired me to do a little research.

If the ANW on-screen clock is to be trusted (eh...), Kacy touched the walls of the Jumping Spider with 1:15 or so left on the clock, Brian Arnold hit the walls with 1:22 left.  Kacy, of course, failed the obstacle, but Brian completed the course with (what would have been, but he waited before pressing the buzzer for strategic reasons) about 18-19~ seconds left.  If Kacy was only seven seconds behind at that point, she might have had enough time to complete the course.  She could still lose around ten seconds on Brian's time after the Jumping Spider.  Arnold got through the course at a steady, not-incredibly-fast pace, so maybe she'd have a chance.

Of course, the Sasuke 30 Stage 1 timer is 20 seconds shorter (125/105) than ANW's.  But of course, it's a bit easier of a course.

But yeah, she is pretty slow.  I mean, she did a two step method on the pistons >_>  But then again, someone completed Sasuke 30's first stage with like 37 seconds left.  Doesn't seem very difficult to beat the clock on it.

I think she'd probably fail the Hedgehog on the First Stage.
If she did attempt the other stages,
Cross Slider or Swap Salmon Ladder on the Second Stage,
Iron Paddler or Drum Hopper on the Third Stage
and Spider Climb on the Spider Climb.
I also LOL'ed at yamfriend's post.

I honestly think she would have to pull off a miracle to even get to the Double Warped Wall, which I doubt happening.
She'd probably fail the Long Jump, Log Grip or Hedgehog.
The other stages...
Stage 2: Cross Slider
Stage 3: Rumbling Dice or Iron Paddler
Final Stage: Spider Climb.
