Well... I am one week out from the SuperBeast. My feelings right now can best be described as equal parts panic and excitement.
Panic? Hell yes. 13+ miles, 25 obstacles. Longer than any event I have ever done. Battlefrog was 9 miles and probably about the same number of obstacles, but this is Spartan we're talking about. THEN the very next day I am going after the Super - 8+ miles and 20 obstacles. I don't know how the hell I am gonna do this. My goal is simply to finish both races... and earn my first ever Trifecta! I am excited to tackle a beast though - and see if it really does live up to all the hype. Plus I'll be running with some Eagles! I'm on the RWB team for both days. It's been several months since my last OCR (which was Battlefrog) so I'm really itching to get out there again. I didn't strength train much at all until now. This will be my first test to see how my performance on obstacles improves.
Speaking of strength training..
Fail.
I did waaayyy too much on Tuesday and have been suffering from some pretty severe DOMS since then. I think tomorrow it will be 100% gone so I can go out for a trail run, but it's pretty much been all rest since Tuesday because I thoroughly whupped my own ass.
I did however go and get my CPR/AED card in Atlanta yesterday
I need this to take my CPT exam - which is on the 30th. Trying to cram in some studying here and there. We have alot going on with the upcoming move - set for approximately November 7th (the day before RNR Savannah). We have alot going on in the next couple weeks - potential renters coming to look at our house, party at our house, yard work, cleaning/purging, house work, moving.. A whirlwind of stuff is about to happen over the next 3 weeks!
Time's winding down
