Anyone doing it this weekend? I'll be doing the sprint and it will be my first time. I'm a little nervous, I'm hoping not to have to do too many burpees.

Hooverfb · 03-18-2019, 09:33 PM

I'm planning on trying to do the glen rose one. Recovering from hurt Achilles and forearm. Carrying my son in the woods didn't help my forearm lol.
Goodluck. Would be cool to get a TBH team together at one of these.

PassnItOn · 03-18-2019, 11:01 PM

I'll be there and will be doing many Burpees, didn't prep quite like I intended. This will be my second sprint, they are pretty addictive.

I just decided to do this 6 weeks ago so I may be there with you on the burpees!

Hey vato...glad to see you've kept up with it. My buddy is trying to get me to do the MS ride this year. I love riding the trails and haven't done any long road rides in a couple of years.

Thanks man! It's hard for me keeping the weight down so if I do a race here and there it motivates me to exercise, lol. Yeah trail riding is alot more fun than hitting the road.
The MS ride looks like it would be fun if doing it with friends or a big group maybe.

OleTomTalker · 03-19-2019, 09:35 AM

Me and Alien77721 will be there. He is a veteran at these and will be my first race.

I feel as though I have been conned! Originally I thought we were doing the sprint but he signed us up for the Super!

Prayers please!

My buddy is part owner of a brewery and they've teamed up with Left Hand out of Colorado for the past few years to raise funds for the ride. They do a collaboration beer as well.

Sunday.

Maybe watching the movie 300 before race day will give me some inspiration.

Fiancé and her friend are running in the sprint. Might go and watch them do burpees, but not sure if it’s worth it. Haha

PassnItOn · 03-22-2019, 08:53 PM

Just turning 52 and running sprint at 10:30 Sunday, kids are running super tomorrow and then joing us old folks for the sprint Sunday. Good luck gentlemen, I’ll be the short chunky one in a red shirt in the burpee pit.

I could do half of one. Once I was on the ground I would be done.

That's a great pic, congrats!!! Gonna have to get my kids signed up next year.
Not sure how a race can be so hard and fun at the same time but it was! Only obstacle I couldn't complete was the spear throw and those 30 burpees were tough. Had a great time and will be doing it again.

We'll be doing more too! I don't remember the last time I was hurting as bad as I am this morning but am ready to do another.
Definitely sign your kids up. My 6 year old blew thru the 1/2 mile course and was thrilled! Our bigger boys had their hands full with the 2 mile course but smashed it! Spartan team didn't hold back on what they threw at the 10-13 year olds. Aliens boy Gideon, did it with Jacob even though he's only 9.

Of course, Alien blew through the obstacles like they weren't even there but the overhead monkey bar style ones (not sure what all y'all had on the Sprint) ate my lunch and I was just too gased by the time I got to the rope climb. Way too many burpees this time around but now I know what I gotta work on.

Not real sure I was thinking straight but we went ahead and paid for the Dallas Beast in October.

Got some serious training between now and then to get done!

Good luck with the Beast, you can get your trifecta done! A buddy wants to do the austin super so I will continue to train for that.

It's May 18, 19th weekend. You should do it and it's much more fun to do as a group!
