ReplyDeleteyes you should! Maybe you will win! :)
DeleteThat would be sweet.....
ReplyDeleteI agree! Good luck!
DeleteHope I win! Want to do the VA super! :)
DeleteI've always wanted to do an obstacle run. They look like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteOh I love a mud run! This one looks like so much fun!
DeleteWould be SO much FUN!! :)
ReplyDeleteYes it would! I agree!
DeleteFingers crossed for you!
DeleteI love love love these kind of runs! I haven't done this one yet but it's on my list. I done several others though. I want !! ;)
ReplyDeleteI want to run with you girl! Wouldn't that be fun! A MomPowerTeam race!
DeleteI haven't done one yet, but I've been wanting to for the past 2 years . I think this would be a really great challenge for me!
ReplyDeleteYou need to do one! Get signed up!!! Good luck!
DeleteI just did a local mud/obstacle race. I want to do a Spartan race because they look like a real challenge.
ReplyDeleteI agree! Good stuff! Congrats on your obstacle race!
DeleteI haven't done an obstacle race yet, but I have been wanting to do one for quite some time now. They look like a great way to challenge yourself and have fun while doing so!
ReplyDeleteThey are so much fun! You need to do one
DeleteThis race has been on my to do list!!
ReplyDeleteWell, win or lose, you need to do it with me!!!
DeleteI've previously run the Primal Mud Run, but have never done the Spartan and want to cross it off my list.
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds awesome! I have never done the Primal Run. I did do the Tough Mudder. This looks awesome!
DeleteI have actually run Mud Factor twice in Omaha area. The negative thing is the 1st year they didn't have the waterslide due to drought. This year they didn't have it due to storms the night before and 17 degree temps.
ReplyDeleteI am doing a Spartan here soon and Tough Mudder!
Oh no! Yep we need that slide! It makes everything better! Good luck on your races!
DeleteI'm doing the Beast in December. Pray for me! ;)
ReplyDeletehaha! You will be great! Good luck!
DeleteI have done Warrior Dash and RFYL and I really want to get into the Spartan series!!! I am hoping to run Tampa, but I have to wait for them to put up volunteer opportunities and hope I get to volunteer to get my entry....or win this! -Mo C
ReplyDeleteWell I wish you luck!!! I am doing Tampa... we need to meet up!
DeleteDefinitely!! I can't wait! I'm so excited!!! I plan on doing the Tampa Sprint and the Super in Miami. If all goes well, maybe I'll plan a vacation for later in the year for the Beast and grab a trifecta!!!
DeleteOne of the main reasons I'm so excited about it, I really was bummed after the whole Hero Rush debacle. We could only afford one race this year and that was the one we invested in and then they went belly up and now we have no races this year! I plan on packing next year full of Spartans!!!
DeleteDid the tough mudder and would love to move up to the spartan race.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteI am doing the super on Aug 24 but would love free entry to the SC beast!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the 24th! :) and good luck here
DeleteI am doing the super on Aug 24 but would love free entry to the SC beast!
ReplyDeleteI've done two spartans. I'm 57 and I did my first when I was 56. I like the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! Best of luck
DeleteThis race is definitely the best out there
ReplyDeleteThat is so good to hear! Thank you for sharing that! I can't wait. Good luck!
DeleteI haven't done one yet. I've tossed the idea around but honestly it scares me a little. SO...guess if I win I'll have no excuse but to step out of my comfort zone! Should be fun!
ReplyDeleteYes! Step out of your comfort zone! Being uncomfortable is one of the best things in life
DeleteI love love love Spartan Races and try to do as many possible, they keep me motivated in my everyday life because I have to stay in shape to better perform each race :) through the pain and struggle of each race I always smile and the biggest one is always when I am jumping over the fire heading towards the gladiators at the end - there is not better feeling! I recently started signing up to be a volunteer to get free race entries since it can be expensive traveling to as many as my boyfriend and I do so a free race would be epic!!! btw, love your blog :)
ReplyDeleteWell then, my fingers are crossed for you! Thank you for the compliment. glad you like my blog!
DeleteLooks tough but fun!
ReplyDeleteYou need to do this with me!!! so fun!
DeleteSpartans are a ton of fun! You'll love it!
ReplyDeleteawww thank you!
DeleteI've done a few OCR's but I have heard nothing but great things about the Spartan Race. It's definitely a challenge that I want to take on!!
ReplyDeletewill you come to Tampa for this one with me :)
DeleteDefinitely :) I'm so excited about the race being in Raymond James Stadium!
Deletewould love to try this
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
DeleteI really, really, really want to do this. I do TriFitness (a different OC challenge) and I did the Metro Dash, this would be my first Spartan Race - AROO!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! Good luck! :)
DeleteI have never done an obstacle race, but I imagine there are very few as intense as this... What a challenge!
ReplyDeleteIt does not look easy!!! LOL... we shall see! Good luck!
DeleteI'd love to do this with my husband!
ReplyDeleteThat would be a lot of fun! Good luck!
DeleteI've never done an obstacle course race, though it's on my fitness bucket list!! This looks totally awesome! (Can you tell I'm from Cali ;) )
ReplyDeletehaha! You will love obstacle races! They are so much fun!!!
DeleteI have done a few OCR, Spartan being the most challenging. I hope to go for my Trifecta next year and winning an entry would help me!
ReplyDeletewow! That is so cool! I wish you luck!
DeleteEntered the Run for Your Lives contest!
ReplyDeleteYay!
DeleteI've NEVER done an obstacle course race but it is on my list of "to do" races :D
ReplyDeleteOh what a fun one to start with :) I am excited because I have never done a spartan either.
DeleteSo I've never done ANY race, much less an obstacle course race, but this sounds really cool (and scary!)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely cool! Good luck!
DeleteJust did the Spartan Sprint on 8/11 - still recovering but ready to go again! I miss Tampa...lived there 12 years.
ReplyDeleteAww! Yes I am excited about being in Raymond James Stadium!
DeleteI'm in love with Spartan Races :) I've done three and have three more this year. I also just did Tough Mudder and had a great time. I wish I could do these all the time!
