OH yeah! I have been waiting for awhile now since I had attempted the 14k Spartan Race 2 years ago I think. I was planning to hit Sydney to complete the next phase which is the 21k Spartan Beast, but now I don’t have to fly over there. Spartan Beast has come to Melbourne city, and I am so happy and glad that I now can attempt this new obstacles course to add the Green medal to my collection.
I have attempted the 14k Spartan Super awhile back after trying out 19k Tough Mudder in Phillip Island. I found the Tough Mudder course was a bit boring and not as challenging as the Spartan 14k. The 14k obstacle took me the same time as the Tough Mudder to finish the course, that’s how easy Tough Mudder was – just mud!
The 14k Spartan Race Super is surely one of the most challenging obstacles so far, you need to train your body physically and mentally for the obstacles ahead, and if you fail! Oh, watch out for the 30 burpees…that’s a challenge itself. So you make sure you are ready for all obstacles!
I was putting up my post about City 2 Sea Melbourne a 15k running event, and stumbled onto Spartan Beast was already here in Melbourne. I was stoked and decided to register straight away from the excitement. It will be one of the toughest challenges for me yet, and it’s a half a marathon run plus you have to pass 35+ obstacle…I love this kind of stuff, and it’s really fun, and it’s good to challenge your body and mind.
If you are looking to join me as a group that would be awesome. I am looking for dedicated Spartans who will be training towards this challenge to complete together. I need a team who will be able to run 21k comfortably and tackle obstacles. You don’t have to be fitness freak and muscle – just a strong will and training to finish the course.
We can look into training together to learn about the obstacles and be ready when the time comes! If you are looking for a challenge, join me and Outdoor & Life Adventures Group 12:20 pm session – Search for the team during your registration!
