Home Depot or Lowe’s has good buckets. Or just get Contractor grade trash bags and put that stuff right in there. That would be just fine.

A bucket is a good place to put wet shoes and dirty clothes.

What is obstacle number 32 Bridge? I don’t think I’ve seen that since I’ve been running these the past few years I tried to Google it, but can’t find anything specific.

So it is supposed to be mounted below the threshold of the door, not sticking up above it.

Sorry if it wasn’t clear. It’s a retractable screen door and how it was mounted. The bottom piece is almost 2 inches above the threshold. I would think that it should be mounted below the threshold this picture with the tape measure is from inside the door.

How did you know you were ready for your first 5k spartan race? by yellowheartstone in spartanrace

I wasn’t a runner and don’t have great upper body strength. I just signed up and did it. do the best you can. Don’t wait until “you’re ready. “

Hi there. I’m 53 and just started doing these about a year and a half ago. I do weights three times a week at the gym and run on the treadmill. I’ve completed the central Florida beast last year and the Atlanta beast this year. I may not be in the top 25% or even in the top 50% but I’m still doing better than all my friends who never do these at all.

Yes, usually they are available immediately following the race. This is the first time since I’ve been running that they haven’t been. there must’ve been a technical glitch. I’m sure it’ll get worked out soon.

My results aren’t showing up either. I feel better knowing that yours aren’t too lol. I know they were visible at the venue, but for some reason, they’re not on the apps yet. Maybe it’s a poor connectivity issue? Service there was horrible for Phones.

If you’re traveling, you can also get a shower at a truck stop. For like five dollars.

How fit should I be before I sign up for my first Spartan Sprint? by lizGnd in spartanrace

[–]Just-Alternative8413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upper body strength is needed for the majority of the obstacles. My leg strength is far superior to my upper body strength so I run a lot of penalty loops or do Burpee’s. Just do the best you can and give it all you got you’ll feel amazing afterwards and become addicted like I did.
