So Proud Of These People
On Saturday 19th March, Team Blast completed a slightly unusual challenge.
Now if I told most people that we would run around some fields, crawl through mud and it would be fun….they would laugh at me.
But with this being the 4th year consecutively that we have done it, each time with new and different people joining our team…its fair to say some of them know what’ s coming….for the others however, entering the unknown offers and exciting a new challenge.
Saturday was by far the hardest of the obstacle course runs that we have done, not so much for the distance or obstacles but the conditions. The team battled through the course conquering it in just around the 2-hour mark.
For those that have been part of our Team Training on a Wednesday night, they had been exposed to the strength demands required and on occasions in February, the weather conditions too brought some challenges. We have been flipping tyres, dragging sleds, pushing prowlers and working on upper body strength so I knew that would stand them in good stead……
BUT Saturday was bitterly cold and it saps your strength….. Most of us spent the rest of the day trying to warm up again…… yet finding ourselves discussing the next event in August which will be Tough Mudder (TM). I couldn’t be prouder of them all, especially those who have never done one before, the camaraderie shown in the team to help each other get through the areas they were most scared of and watching a few people accomplish certain challenges and over come their fears was awesome…….I know they will be back for more in the summer in Cirencester when we take on TM.
That event will be different, the water features and obstacles will be a welcome cool down spot and the cider afterwards wont require warming up 🙂
Below are a few pictures from the weekend of our team on the day. If you would like to join us for our training on Wednesday evenings and potentially do the next event with us you can, feel free to email on info@fa-fitness.co.uk and I will happily answer any questions you have.
Speak soon
Matt 🙂
