Team Ripped Conquers Spartan Race

On August 27, 2016 members from Ripped Performance conquered the Washington DC Spartan Sprint in Mechansville, Maryland. This was the first race for three of our members and a repeat for two. They all helped and encouraged each other throughout the course. The Spartan Race is designed to test your limits and push you past your comfort zone and it did just that. The length was 4.75 miles with 24 obstacles – many of them focusing on upper-body strength.  This year there were less walls to scramble but more obstacles like the monkey bars, the rope climb (with no knots this time around) and the rig that features rings, a baseball, and a horizontal bar. We also have a member working towards her Trifecta and this was her second race – next up – The Beast!

Congrats to all of our members who received their medal. Once a Spartan, always a Spartan. Aroo!

Spartan Race 2016

Spartan Race

Obstacle Course Racing, Spartan Race, Battlefrog, OCR TrainingTwo years ago, Cliff challenged Ripped members to join his team to tackle the challenging Spartan Race. Without knowing exactly how hard the race would be, members signed up to push themselves and accomplish this amazing task. We loved it so much, we did it again in 2015 and will be tackling it again this coming August.

The Spartan Race is the leading Obstacle Race company and holds races of varying lengths throughout the world. The race we will be signing up for is the Spartan Sprint – the shortest race. The race length is anywhere from 3-5 miles and will include up to 20 different obstacles. This year, the race will be happening the weekend of August 27th and Ripped Performance will be signing up for Saturday morning. Other race distances are the Super and the Beast. If you have questions about these, try and search out Ripped member Dennis. He has tackled the Trifecta (when you race all 3 lengths in one calendar year).

Many look at the Spartan Race and immediately think they can’t do it. We are here to say that you can! Is it hard? Yes. Is it challenging? Yes. Can you do it? Yes. During the summer we have Spartan-specific workouts that will help you gain the necessary stamina and strength to get you through the race. Not to fear, everyone helps everyone along the course. Need a lift over the wall? No problem. Need a helping hand up the mud hill? It will be there. When you are done you will feel tired, sore, and amazing!

Where to sign up? http://www.spartan.com/en/race/detail/1146/overview If you’re planning to sign-up to race with the team, please select Saturday and select Saturday morning start time. Teams have to all be in the same block and the longer you wait, the more likely you are to have to run in the afternoon. Also, when you sign up, please select Ripped Performance as your team. Currently, Jennifer is the team captain having already signed up. Friends and family members are welcome to sign up and join the team as well. It is always a good idea to have someone to race with as well. It is ok if you can’t keep up with other members of the team – the race is about you – you facing your fears, your struggles, and rising above them.

We will have more information on race-specific workouts. Once you sign up, please let us know so we can add you to the Spartan list. We’re looking forward to taking a big team this summer and showing everyone how Ripped Members ‘Rise Above Average’!
