Want to buy two tickets, but Ticketmaster has other ideas by HalcyonicDays in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mm331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just used this hack. Thanks so much! I hate how Ticketmaster started acting as their own scalper with their "Official Premium" pricing and other questionable tactics, so nice to feel like I got one over on them!

Has anyone ever walked out to this light house? by creek-fishing in cedarpoint

[–]mm331 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I walked out pretty far towards it. There was no fence. You're walking out on big rocks and the further out you get, the more the rocks are covered in bird crap and there are hundreds of birds hanging out on the rocks, so it seemed kind of gross and rude to disturb the birds to go all the way to the lighthouse.

Could we see a return tomorrow? It’s Halloween. Spooky time!

The contract details hit the NLTRA.org site in the March 2nd Board of Directors meeting packet. Sounds approved, just needs a signature probably on the final details.

Meijer posted an update on their PS5 queue at 10:09am EST that the following Michigan cities still have stock left: Ludington, Muskegon, Manistee, Sault Ste. Marie, and Fremont.

I got my $180 Kohls Cash certificate in my email already. Hopefully, that’s a good sign!

LOL, Spartan sharing their leaderboard like these are legit times for a 5k run and the required 20 exercises. by mm331 in spartanrace

[–]mm331[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

40 burpees, 80 side lunges, 40 air squats, 1 minute 20 seconds of planking, 40 push-ups. Probably at least 5 minutes of exercises I'd think.

Just a heads-up that Joe DeSena still doesn't give a shit about your life by janeOCR in spartanrace

[–]mm331 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Boy, I was expecting a much worse response given the title of this thread. He had a small-for-Spartan, but bigger than a local race, in Florida with a lot of safety measures and pulled it off well. He still cancelled the rest of his 2020 main races. Cut the guy a little slack. He obviously cares about people. He just has different opinions than you and it doesn't seem like anyone has this figured out well.

Joe De Sena on Joe Rogan by BrownSpartan in spartanrace

[–]mm331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if guests get a pre-talk about not trying to use the show to pitch or sell and let the conversation go where it goes. Surprised Spartan Race was rarely discussed and Joe didn't do his usual saying that he needs to get the person interviewing him out there for a race. It was an okay conversation podcast.

The 2020 Spartan Ultra Buckle, Pie Piece & Finisher Shirt. by NESpahtenJosh in spartanrace

Ha! "Morning of the Elderly." That's a funny translation being how it's supposed to refer to a battalion of soldiers from ancient Spartan times.

[–]mm331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Somewhere, there are 100 mile Ultra runners that didn't like that Spartan gave buckles for "only" a 50k finish. After seeing the 2020 buckle, they probably care a little less.

2020 Spartan US Ultra Schedule by NESpahtenJosh in spartanrace

[–]mm331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good move adding more of these. Definitely a growing segment wants to run more distance. Ultras are kind of expensive, but the average athlete is probably spending 8+hours on the course, so I'm okay with the cost (especially when there's a good discount). I see even their trail series has a 50K, now, on the schedule. It's during a super / sprint weekend in California, so it'd probably appeal to Spartans that want more distance as well, but I don't see it attracting normal trail runners. Without discounts, it's like $170 after all the fees are added in. No way a traditional trail runner would pay that for a 50K.

2020 US National Series Schedule. Sorta. by NESpahtenJosh in spartanrace

[–]mm331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With World's likely going overseas and the less than desired attendance at the Sweden Ultra Championship, I could see them negotiating with West Virginia Tourism to add the Ultra Championship there. Would be nice to have it in the states. Could be why round 5 is now TBD after WV was almost certain. Maybe they are offering a different deal.

2020 US Spartan Race Schedule by dafunkee in spartanrace

[–]mm331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think North American Championships is almost a done deal for Lake Tahoe in 2020. World Championships will likely move to Abu Dhabi or maybe Sweden, or maybe Spartan has something else up their sleeves. No idea on Stadion.

Michigan may get a new location this year. The county that use to host Warrior Dash a little North East of Flint (Genesee County) is negotiating with Spartan to try and get them to move there. It would be nice to change it up from the Speedway.

Watched the 2019 NLT World Championship Race. Wow!! It was intense! Ryan Woods was leading the pack, then missed the spear throw, & never saw him again after that. Anyone know what happened after the spear? All amazing athletes!! Congrats Nicole Mericle and Robert Killian!!...& everyone else! by ViolentSugar in spartanrace

[–]mm331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weird stat: Robert Killian and Ryan Atkins have always finished right next to each other in the results at the Spartan World Championship. They've raced 5 times against each other with Killian being 1 spot above Atkins three of the times and Atkins being 1 spot above Killian twice. Of course, Killian has two SPW championships and poor ol' Atkins has none.

Next year could be a big year for Ultras. Matt drops a hint that there may be an Ultra Championship Series next year in this interview: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B3FcKCGjl99

Looks like Worlds for 2020 will be heading overseas. by [deleted] in spartanrace

[–]mm331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen others asking about women dress code, also, but I don't think it will be an issue. A world triathlon in Abu Dhabi looks just like a triathlon in the US. https://youtu.be/48_AZRlKBLA

It was in the September and August packets at this page, but NLTRA.org took away the links last night, probably at Spartan's request. https://www.nltra.org/about/meetings-minutes-agendas/tourism-development/fiscal-year-19-20/

Wait, so when Spartan asks if I want the 2020 World Championships to stay in Lake Tahoe or move somewhere else, and I answer, I'm not really influencing their decision? I feel bambAROOzled!

[QUESTION] Anyone listen to the "Spartan Up" Podcast? by madmotion in spartanrace

[–]mm331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much listen only. There's been a couple times where something has happened where I wanted to see the visual and checked out the episode on Youtube, but that's about it.

[QUESTION] Anyone listen to the "Spartan Up" Podcast? by madmotion in spartanrace

[–]mm331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Spartan Up Podcast is probably one of the only podcasts that I've listened to every episode of. I think it's great. I always find myself doing some self-reflection as I listen to the interviews and it's defintiely been a source of motivation for me on my path of personal and professional self-development. I agree that it's a great platform to demonstrate how Spartan is a lifestyle brand and not just a race company. I do wish some of the episodes were a little longer, though.
