I’ve heard so much about obstacle racing… those humungous muscle men who have found a fine balance between muscle and endurance fitness ripping through obstacles. I’ve grown up training for long-distance running, the sort of running that goes on for 10+ kilometres but I have never been much of a muscle guy…
So, I decided to give obstacle racing a try. How hard could it be? A few obstacles, probably would get a bit dirty, but nothing crazy right? IT WAS SOOO HARD. My muscles ended up aching for 5 straight days.
SPARTAN SPRINT
Similar to the famous Tough Mudder, a Spartan sprint race is a 5+ kilometre obstacle course race that is designed for athletes who love adventure. The race involves running, climbing, crawling and also in some bits swimming. It’s a true test of someone’s mental, physical and endurance ability.
