Many athletes and fitness enthusiasts flocked to Lima, Batangas last May 4 to join the first leg of Spartan 2019 Southeast Asian (SEA) Regional Series. This race aims to prepare competitive Spartans who want to be qualified for the Asia Pacific Championships in August.
The Spartan Race 2019 at Lima Technology Center features the Spartan Sprint, a 5-kilometer (km) race with 20 obstacle courses, the Spartan Beast, 21-km with 30-obstacle-courses and the first-ever Hurricane Heat 12-hour race.
Together with blogger friends, we joined the Spartan Sprint category. We ran, jumped, climbed through walls, crawled under barbed wires, carried 70 lbs sand bag, pushed and pulled heavy metals, plunged into the muddy water and enjoyed other challenging but fun obstacles. I can't imagine I will be able to finish the race.
Spartan Race is a true adventure. This activity will definitely push your physical limits. I totally gave up on some challenging obstacles. I know Spartans don't skip obstacles, but I need to. I felt pain on my upper back and I don't want to take a risk. There's a mandatory set of burpees that I completed before moving on the next obstacle. Well, I really need to prepare my mind and body for the next leg of Spartan race. I will do my best not to skip to any obstacles.
I completed the race more than an hour and got a finisher medal. Yey! I made it! Aroo! Aroo! Aroo! I'm feeling motivated to work out because of the competitive Spartans I met in the race. I really enjoyed Spartan Race.
After the race, we immediately went to Lima Park Hotel to take a shower. By the way, Lima Park Hotel is a proud partner of Spartan Race Philippines. We stayed in one of their superior rooms.
