Spartan Race obstacles
"I wonder what kind of obstacles will be there" ?! This question often falls before the race.
As you get lucky and there are two races in one weekend like in Liberec (Beast and Sprint) someone always share his knowledge of what awaits you in front of your course but if not you will be stand and think about that;-) Unfortunately we do not have the ability of clairvoyance and our thinking no way bring us closer to knowledge about obstacles route.of course, Uncle Google and Aunt Youtube will give you a substitute for experience and visually you can ... palpable rope or the touch Monkey Bar.
However, tests on your own body, face and ass (sometimes a Spartan stretch out a helping hand or hands to help you on the wall ;-) ladies ... most recently in Tokaj as a boy he wanted to help me, that almost threw me on the other side of the slope ;-) I am light and he didn’t know me that’s obvious... so help is not to worry about Girls ;-) but everything in moderation, to the crowd to help with the obstacles it was ... ok bore me and here about something else has to be ;-)
Countdown and run ...Sprint about 20 obstacles - such a mixture of natural with those created by the organizers. This is 5+ km distance and in practice, about 7km.This relatively short section and obvious that these 20 obstacles will be virtually one after the other within a short distance of each other but this is a big plus because there is no time for just any thoughts or moments of doubt ... simply enter / runs / crawl it !! ! You have no time for wondering if you like you can think about what's for dinner or what shoes to date assume ;-)
From our own experience we know that the only thing
you think when it's about what you do at the moment and the statement
"counts here and now" it takes on deep meaning .Sometimes happens
also that you are dissociated (quarrel lovers, mandate because as you hurry swimming
in the mud that I suffered, and Mr Policeman did not understand, and even
millions of blinks per minute, nothing here could (method usually works - ) and
then nobody better to the way around you was not because they had heard that
same fu ... ;-) well, so it goes.It is not always beautiful and
charming. That is not competition at doing make-up in the field or a Sunday tea
with friends.This is mud (you have it where you do not even know that it could
be ;-), sweat (in Krynica on Jaworzyna Mountain could be to light the
grill without the lighter, by the way barbecue, we take it to Krynica Spartan
Beast 2017 and we dump on sausages - ) someone willing???
You can see, despite the difficult conditions, medications or other types of events (add what exactly you fit ;-) enter it with all your heart and obstacles to overcome as far as our possibilities.if not, and sometimes it is, something that is still not achievable for us, then what awaits us? only 30 burpees ;-) no philosophy and do you need as quickly as possible because time is running out and the medal is waiting for us ... just why women at the finish line of medals not hand muscled guys ??? ;-) I hope that this will change and Poland will set an example other countries !!!
Thoughts - such beings circulating properly around the clock at our head, and just because they play a vital functions The I present to you a few of them accompanying us from obstacles:
- Finally something is happening
- Cramps, hmm if caught (without associations, I thought about the lines)
- Wall could use a guy to help because it is slippery ... ooo, good there is one ;-)
- Focus girl !!!
- Damn Monkey Bar, right away I'm going to do Burpee
- mud, will be fun and a good shot ass well
- Wire ... good I have to be careful on the hair and leggings
Often, however, you do not think about anything, you do the obstacle and fly away.
Do we have a favorite obstacles? Yea the easiest ... well ok not always
Bags of sand and buckets of gravel are even quite pleasant, teach you divert attention from the burden of the beauty of the environment (typically mountainous areas).
Rope ... Krynica Zdroj the Beast zing in the mud pool at the rope (fast diving with even faster ascent ;-) combined with "I do not go in? I? "I went.
Flip tires, memory test, javelin throw is also quite pleasant moments that give a respite during the competition because of course you do not do it and breath calm down.
You are afraid of? Well fear is also needed .For what? then we have a more heightened senses and instinct. If so you have it you are safe from obstacles. These are the only "inanimate creations," which, as a child, unless you have given them power as the "monster from the closet" is nothing to be afraid . Namely the obstacles in life are now more real and occur virtually every day but do not give advice? You put your hands up and breaking down? Oh no!!! You fight with them, bypasses, looking for solutions. Then ask yourself. If you must overcome a real logs, and get up after the fall of the stronger what are you afraid at Spartan Race ??? Are you in? Because I do not see any obstacles ;-))))))
