Been training for my upcoming races, first one is two weeks from today, hit the gym this morning, ran a mile then climbed 5000 feet for a total of 5 miles, 575 reps of back and chest for endurance, then 250 reps of abs, and then off to draper for 7 miles on my mountain bike, now time to shower and walk the fairgrounds and check out some cars
Nice. What races are you training for?
I have the warrior dash on the 23 of this month and then the rugged maniac the following Saturday, conquer the gauntlet in June and prob gonna pick up another two races in between those, trying to win one this year, took 5th last year at the rugged maniac, hate running and wanted to still be competitive in something, found these obstacle races, have had a blast doing them
What wave times for Rugged Maniac and Conquer the Gauntlet? I'm doing both of those at 11am. I did the Rugged Maniac last year but CTG is new to me. I'm also doing the Mud Factor in Norman on May 28th. It's not as intense as the other races but still some fun in the mud. I don't think the Dirty 30 is happening this year so I'm bummed about that.
I'm doing the first waves on all 3, don't remember the times right now, just know I signed up for the start, hated waiting in lines for the obstacles
Speaking of the dirty 30, I was looking for that one this year, did see one that going on at the motorcross track(mud factor?) south of Norman on the south side of the river, I think I'll sign up for that one, close to home
I did it last year. It's fun. You'll probably get stuck in line at the obstacles since it's cheap enough that everyone shows up (large ladies included). But it's not timed and mostly just for fun.
14.3 miles, 5 laps around Mitch Park. The hills certainly highlighted a lack of glute strength.
That's something I'll need to work on post-race.
By the way, were any of you guys running around Mitch Park with a pack? Maybe showed up in a white Subaru with a "556" sticker on the back?
I crossed paths a couple times with a guy who looked like he could be training for a Run n Gun.
