This year will yield my first ever Spartan Race Trifecta. A Trifecta being the completion of a Sprint, Super, and Beast in a calendar year. This time last year, I didn't even know what a Trifecta was, much less have aspirations on completing one. And now, here we are only a few days away from the Beast.
The Beast is the final piece of the Trifecta for us this year, and it is going down! I'm feeling pretty good. My mileage is up, but admittedly probably not as high as it should be, and I feel adequately strong. How I'll feel Saturday is another thing, but we'll see.
People look at you funny when you tell them how excited you are to go run a race like this. They say, "how long?" and "you're wet and there's obstacles?" with a puzzled look on their faces. I don't really blame them though. When you think about it, it does seem a little strange. That's even more reason to love it for me. I can dig strange.
So if you think about it, say a little prayer for all us Spartans this weekend as we battle our Beast. We will slay it. We are after all, Spartans! Aroo, Aroo, AROO!
