| People loving the gymnastic rings! |
Evan Burgess of Ciren Scene took part in the Spartan Race South West 21-05-17. Maybe you will next year!
I took part in the Sunday morning 5km “sprint” through the
Aston Down airfield. The only issue with the sprint was 20 obstacles and a
large amount of hills!
The start was 08:40 and it would take me 1 hour and a bit to
get through it, largely thanks to humping some heavy things across and
unforgiving landscape. The clue is in the title, the obstacles aren´t massively
complicated, but they do require a good deal of fitness.
Crawling under barbwire up and down a hill was actually
quite fun, and I felt good completing the tyre walk up and down a hillside.
Ironically, it was my spare tyre that stopped me completing some of the
obstacles! I couldn´t navigate the gymnastic rings or rope climb towards the
end of the course. Fortunately for me,
the staff understood the issue. “That´s going to be burpees!” I was informed.
10 for the rings and 30 for the ropes. Hopefully that will lighten the load for
next time!
