AAR:
Gut Checks & Lessons Learned
.
Spartan Beast:
Distance 21km/13.1miles
Vertical Climb 1352m/4436ft
30 Obstacles
Time:~6hrs
.
I did it in barefoot shoes, no creatine, No Aminos, Insufficient electrolytes, no specific training... I learned to fight so I didn't have to run.
.
Things That Went Right:
*Finished
*2x Nylons under socks minimized blisters
*Gardning Gloves Kept Hands Intact
*Strength for Obstacles Sufficient
.
Issues encountered:
*Surprised by how much Vertical Climb
*Struggled with Altitude
*Over Heating
*Muscle Cramps
*Felt Every Rock
*Shoes Were Very Slippery
.
How I Adjust it the Future:
*Lots More Stairs
*More Walking Jogging on Incline Prior
*Practice Jogging Down Hills
*Train with Altitude Mask & Weighted Vest
*Use Anti Histamine to Keep Lungs Open
*Bring Inhaler
*Better Clothing Options to not overheat
*Front Load Electrolytes
*Using Amino Acids During Race
*Using Creatine HCl During Race
*Bring Mustard Packets (Cramping)
*Get Proper (Sport Specific) Shoes
.
Biggest Mistakes:
(That could have been corrected leading up to the race).
.
*imProper Clothing Contributed Significantly to Heat-Stress & Cramping.
.
*Lack of Electrolytes, Aminos, Creatine lead to Significant Cramping.
.
Lack of Antihistamines & Inhaler Significantly Reduced Lung Capacity.
.
*Improper Footwear made the obstacles more difficult & further reduced pace
.
*Training to Jog/Run down hills would have shaved more than 30min off.
.
★The above 5 oversights contributed to atleast an additional 60min in duration★
