In a previous blog post, I wrote mostly about my first Spartan Race experience.
My second Spartan Race year was not memorable so let's just not waste too much time on this. I drove the really old Volkwagon Golf and the bumper almost felt off because the grass at the parking lot was so long!
As I mentioned previously, this year I went to the Spartan Race with people I trained with and had a blast! We went to the Spartan Sprint together. I was actually really reluctant to go this year but I ended up signing up and completing it because of their encouragements.
After completing the Spartan Sprint, I decided to complete the Spartan Trifecta*. I wanted to complete this item on my bucket list because I am not sure if I'll ever complete the Spartan Trifecta if I don't do it this year.
This time my mother came with me! It was really comforting having her there with me because the drive there and back was a real long one. We drove from Markham to Cul de Sac (Mount Perkin?) near Montreal in one evening, We departed at around 9 p.m. and arrived at around 4 a.m. After arriving, I was dropped off immediately and completed the Spartan Super and the following day I completed the Spartan Beast. Basically, it was a 3 nights trip. The first night, we slept at a ON ROUTE parking lots (I packed a lawn swing chair cushion as a mattress) and the remaining two nights we camped at Camping Nature Plein Air. We drove back the day following Spartan Beast and I went back to work the next day. Although our trip was a short and quick one, we got to see sunrise, sunset, nature, cities, towns and triathlons** along the way. If we had more times, I would have loved to explore Cul de Sac some more. (Originally, I wanted to go a nearby hiking trail with my mother before we go back home).
Anyways, I guess I didn't end up writing the Spartan Race Story - Part 2. This was more like a.. our drive to Spartan Race story.
One day, I'll write the experience of the actual course. It was great.
*Spartan Trifecta means completing Spartan Sprint, Spartan Super and Spartan Beast in the same year
**Ironman event was going on the same weekend at Magog I think.
