The Answer To Getting Out Of My Rut

Looking back at my fire jump picture from my very first Spartan Race there is a quite a change in me! First pic- timid, not sure of myself, afraid even & 15lbs heavier! Second pic- I have the "I got this" badass Wonder Woman confidence going on
 
Thinking back to my very first Spartan race in 2015 that I DID NOT WANT TO DO. I hadn’t done a Spartan race before and hadn’t planned on it as it really didn’t appeal to me…
 
Doing something I wasn't comfortable with, challenging myself to overcome the mental barriers of a Spartan pushed me in ways I never thought. Doing this race helped me to realize that even though I turned 40 that year I can still challenge myself to learn new skills & have new experiences through a sport like Obstacle Course Racing. In fact I stood on my first podium a couple years later.
 
So what is it about a Spartan that has hooked me in when I had no interest before
 
- Being able to tackle obstacles that we have to train in the gym for has been my hook. We aren't just running and adding more and more miles. Instead we get to focus on getting stronger. Being strong gives you a real advantage in this event
 
- Every race I find something new I want to work on whether it is an obstacle I haven't been able to get yet or a strategy to improve my performance. There are still obstacles I'm learning to do. Do not put the pressure on yourself to think you have to be able to do every obstacle. That's part of the fun
 
- Conquering obstacles that at one point felt impossible. "I'll never be able to climb a rope...I'm too heavy...I can't do those Monkey Bar obstacles...With practice, technique & strength gained through specific programming I can now say the rope climb is no problem & I have conquered most of the monkey bar type obstacles

So why not you? If you haven't conquered a Spartan yet & you're like me thinking...hmmm not so sure about this...I encourage you to get out of your comfort zone and go for it!
