The Obstacle Race/Spartan/Tough Mudder thread
Discussion
Running in elite male, expect to get left for dust. :P
Have done Nuclear Rush, Nuclear fallout, Rock Solid, Nuts Challenge 4 lapper, Tough Mudder, One True Grit (first win), Vision wild run, brutal 10, Mud Sweat and Beers, The Suffering, Ram Run, The Jarl, Man V Horse, Judgement Day Copehill Down, Warrior Adrenaline Race, Spartan Sprint, probably a few I've forgotten.
The rest of my calendar for this year is pretty bare, I have UK Champs in November, and that's it! Will be booking the Swanbourne Endeavour in a bit (october), possibly MH Survival of the Fittest (late Nov). Next year, looking at Urban Attack Sub Zero, winter Fan Dance, Paris Marathon, probably more Suffering/Nuclear/Nuts. Going to try and have December and February as off season, could even be longer if I don't do The Fan Dance.
Tempted by a Trifecta as well, we'll see. Next year looks like another busy year!

A friend of mine is off to the OCR world champs I think. In Ohio or somewhere like that isn't it? He's probably registered on here but not sure he's a regular visitor.
Yeah, Spartan World Champs was last weekend, World OCR Champs are soon. I qualified, but couldn't afford it. UK Champs is more my budget haha!garygravity said:
How do you Qualify for the World champs?
Finish within a certain position at qualifying events. I qualified that The Suffering this year.I'll be doing UK Champs, possibly Survival of the Fittest then have December off. Looking at doing Tough Guy in January, just unsure. I'm based in Bedford, so quite fortunate that I have a lot of races within a couple of hours of me. Agree that it's starting to become a very crowded marketplace. Ram Run is well worth doing!
Who is back racing this year?
I'm trying to qualify for Worlds, but we'll see if that happens!
Also doing Nuclear Oblivion in between a couple of marathons as well. Bear Grylls is going to a site near me, and going Urban Attack Sub Zero at Milton Keynes. Looks to be a good year. Pity I'm fat and slow after having 6 weeks off of training following UK champs and Christmas.
Was anyone else on here at UK champs? I finished 48th Elite Male, and kept my wristband, I was content with that result given my run up to it had been pretty crap.

First race of the new season is on Saturday, I'm at The Suffering. Kind of a Paris Marathon training session/qualify for UK champs.Gassing Station | Sports | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
