\"To<\/a><\/p>\n

2015 is the year when Reebok’s Spartan Race<\/a>, Sprint was finally organized in Singapore.<\/p>\n

And I joined it.<\/p>\n

(Click the pictures to embiggen, of course.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"upwego\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ugggnnngh. Before we even got to my wave, I thought “Oh my goodness” because before you got to start, you had to climb in the pen where everyone is to be held. So good grief.<\/p>\n

Climbing in to start for the race.<\/p>\n

And then we got released and off we go!<\/p>\n

\"Climbing\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I like climbing nets, they’re easy-ish although the gap is wide enough at times you might be able to fall through if you lose a footing…<\/p>\n

Call that a warm up.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

There were so, so many walls.<\/p>\n

The starter walls were okay and then it got higher and higher!<\/p>\n

I got through them, obviously.<\/p>\n

\"Pulling\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Lots of weights to carry too.<\/p>\n

\"Ok<\/a><\/p>\n

Since the sprint is the “easiest”, the distance was around 6km only which is pretty doable to me.<\/p>\n

The weather was rather nice too. It rained when I started off and then went sunny again midrace.<\/p>\n

So far, the water stations actually had three varieties of drink. Vita Coco Coconut water, Lucozade and PH Balancer water.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Jump!\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After climbing and going under barbed wire, we had to jump over fire to get to the finish line.<\/p>\n

\"Yay!<\/a><\/p>\n

Yay!<\/p>\n

Total damage for burpees? 90.<\/p>\n

30 – I missed my javelin shot for the target.<\/p>\n

30 – For not being able to cross a “monkeybars” thing.<\/p>\n

30 – Not being able to go up a rope climb.<\/p>\n

I really need to learn how to climb rope and do more arm thingies.<\/p>\n
