I first want to start by saying ... There is no other family I would want to do this race with.
With that being said, I do not think I will EVER do the UTAH SUPER SPARTAN again. I have this bad habit of thinking I can do anything and without hesitation, saying Yes, to whatever challenge is thrown my way. I did not prepare for this race and was just winging it.
The Positives
- I only had to do 60 Burpees. For those of you who do not know what that means, I failed only 2 of 24 obstacles. I was rather proud of that! AND I thank Chris Lamb for assisting us girls (which was allowed on the tall walls)
- I had great company to run, walk, jump, moan and swear (yes, a couple of times) with and made the race so much more fun!
- I completed the Arizona Sprint (4.5 miles, 21 obstacles) in 2015. I wanted to do a SUPER (8.7 miles and 24 obstacles) and did!
The Negatives
- I did not train for this and NEVER realized that elevation was THAT much of a factor. Lesson learned.
- Dirt does not taste good at mile 1, or at mile 5, or at mile 8.7 . Lack of water makes for a very thirsty girl and I replenished as soon as I made it back to the car.
- Jumping on the last obstacle (the rope climb) and realizing when you look down at the ground, that you are literally 2 inches off the ground and can go no higher. #truth
Through it all - I am happy I have completed 2 Spartan races and anyone who knows me, knows I will complete a Beast to get the Trifecta. Just needs to be done. AND yes, I will try to pick flat land. #AROO
