We spent months discussing back and forth on gear and techniques for the obstacles, so it was really fun re-experiencing the first-time Spartan jitters through her. I think sheer fun is the best way to describe it.
Stopped to capture the scenic view of the race course/venue.
Sled drag.
Sandbag carry. Have to carry a weighted sandbag up and down the hill.
See the line of people on the hill? You carry the sandbag up the hill (right of the photo), around the peak of the hill, and then back down (left of the photo).
Very crowded and slippery mud pits and hills. The Sprint races tend to be more overcrowded.. lines for the obstacles, hard to run fast or pass people, esp on the steep, narrow trails. Not the best for racing for time, but definitely more so about team work and having fun on the obstacles.
A-Frame wall climb in the background.
One of my favorite obstacles cause it's easy for rock climbers, the Z-Wall traverse.
Bucket brigade. Same idea as the sandbag carry --> up and down a hill.
Spear throw. Even though Ryan has this obstacle in our yard for me to practice on, it doesn't matter. I fail this obstacle, every single time. I am 0-5.
Another failed obstacle.. the rig. I was so close, but the 2nd day of racing and my arms had no mo' strength.
At least I got the rope climb.
Nailed the fire jump pose like a boss!
