Web site has information about electric fences. Interesting reading.

At the risk of providing competitors with an advantage—polyethylene is not normally conductive. Hold the top wire of the fence down with a map case and let the partner cross.

Partners are not very conductive either. Throw one of them across the fence, ensuring one end of the partner is still earthed, and cross at your leisure.

This is where I wish I'd received that longer pair of legs for my birthday, as requested! Sometimes it's possible to throw your pack over then carefully climb up the fence inside the electric wire, but the problem is when there's electric wire on both sides.

yes supplementary training, clambering over fences at every opportunity, parkour
I believe, training may just become a lot more fun, clamber over every play ground,
could be fun, as I think it may get old during the event,
