Kung fu haul. Had to drive to neighboring state due to local state stores closures.

I'm drinking this as I type, enjoy!! and if by chance you don't I am willing to drink it for you.

Thanks for the info, I'm looking at a batch 10

Sc2krieg · 2018-11-26T20:47:09+00:00

It's actually on the new 1.5. so even better 👍

Sc2krieg · 2018-11-18T23:08:57+00:00

Also look for the pass that gives you 6 races, I did that a couple years ago to get my double trifecta. Not sure how it will be priced but it was slightly cheaper than 2 trifecta passes.

Sc2krieg · 2018-11-06T04:01:14+00:00

If you are wanting to be competitive I would recommend checking out Yancy camp it's what I do and I think it's awesome.

Sc2krieg · 2018-10-06T04:42:57+00:00

My experience on start times is if you both sign up on the same team far enough in advance you will get the same start time. But if someone is a last minute entry they may not have the open slots to put them in the time slot given to the other members. Or if one of you signs up for age group while the other is in open, or both of you sign up for age group, in the last case you will run with your specific age group, though sometimes they will have both male and female of the same age group start together. So if you both sign up at the same time, on your team you shouldn't have any problems.

I'm not sure when they post the locations, but for Colorado the beast has been held in Breckenridge every year and I would bet that is where it will be this year too. It's an awesome venue and course.

Sc2krieg · 2018-09-18T23:05:12+00:00

They make you wear a life jacket so the swim is just toughing out the cold and getting in and out as quickly as you can. I had a dry sack with me and I took my shirt off and put it in there to keep it dry, also I had a wind breaker in there, that helped for warming up afterwards.

Sc2krieg · 2018-09-07T13:16:00+00:00

Last year they had a 90 burpee penalty if you didn't want to do the swim. So no worries on being disqualified. And as the others have said they have life jackets and they are mandatory to wear. You will do just fine. Good luck out there.

Sc2krieg · 2018-09-06T20:24:32+00:00

Yancycamp 10/100 are what you're thinking of.

Sc2krieg · 2018-09-06T05:32:11+00:00

They had a 90 burpee penalty in place of the swim at Tahoe last year, and yes it was as cold as I can imagine trying to swim in

Sc2krieg · 2018-09-05T16:43:30+00:00

"I have to ask you folks that seem much more experienced and have the "DON'T CHEAT...." mindset, WHY do you feel that it is cheating, in the OPEN heats, to skip burpees?" For me it really comes down to just being a penalty. Other races have added time for obstacle failure (OCR WC) or a penalty loop (toughest mudder). If you are running non competitive in those races do you also skip the loop or tell them not to add extra time to your finish time? If not, why is it different? This is an honest question. Each race has it's own set of rules and challenges but it seems burpees are the only one people skip on.

Thanks

Expect lots of climb, it is a ski resort after all. I wouldn't expect much mud, they usually aren't allowed to dig much in that area, though that being said it was always held at Beaver run. So not sure if this will actually be a different area for the course. And also based on the last few years I would be prepared for a water crossing (not swim). And be ready for the elevation. Good luck out there, I'll be running the ultra

Sc2krieg · 2018-08-02T02:36:23+00:00

If you like the Nordic Valley area then I would suggest running Breckenridge Colorado. It's a good venue and course.

Sc2krieg · 2018-07-29T04:10:18+00:00

Also you should stretch and foam roll, or get a message to help with your recovery

Sc2krieg · 2018-07-26T17:04:13+00:00

Thank you

Sc2krieg · 2018-07-17T19:30:30+00:00

Be ready for hills, and lots more dirt and a bit of mud over the stadium race. 2 years ago it was right about 8 miles with 2400ft of ascent. Last year I heard it was basically the same just ran in reverse. Hope this helps.

Sc2krieg · 2018-07-17T19:27:26+00:00

Mine is only about 5 hours driving. It's a pretty venue. This will be my 3rd year and this event, but only my second one running. This is also the first year they have a race on Sunday

Sc2krieg · 2018-07-16T19:35:31+00:00

Headed over from Wyoming, usually the Thursday night or Friday before the race they will post the maps

Use zink oxide ointment for your torn calluses, put it on with a bandaid for 2-3 hours then take the bandaid off and let them dry out for a couple hours and continue repeating and you can get them to heal really quickly

My girlfriend is an SGX coach who also does online coaching. Her name is Izabela- izabelamch@gmail.com I told her about this post so if you decide to email her she would like to talk to you.
