AgentsSka Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Alright. I'm bowing out of the challenges for a bit. Well, at least for this one. I've got the World Championship Spartan Beast this coming Saturday. After that, I've got about a week of easy training. And, then I'll be ramping it up once again with a new training plan. But, I don't feel that the confines of the challenge make sense for what I am doing right now. So, screw it. Here's a battle log. 2 Quote Current Challenge || Previous:: 2020 Reset There are a ton of previous challenges that I'm not linking "Freaking pansies.

QuirkyDM Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I was thinking the same thing about the challenges- with the Beast right away and then recovery afterward, this challenge won't do much for me. I'm following along. 1 Quote Quirky DM My Battle Log: QuirkyDM going Quazy "Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure." Link to comment
AgentsSka Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Skanks?!IN!is there beer? Are there ass slaps? Skanks are fun, right? But, I'm talking about Skanking! You know... that thing I naturally want to do when I hear things like: I mean, you're here. Both beer and ass slaps abound with you around. I should add tags to my thread.... in fact... I'm going to. Good luck at the beast! Thanks, chica! I was thinking the same thing about the challenges- with the Beast right away and then recovery afterward, this challenge won't do much for me. I'm following along. Yup. Plus, I've been so busy - a longer term thread might be best anyway. 1 Quote Current Challenge || Previous:: 2020 Reset There are a ton of previous challenges that I'm not linking "Freaking pansies.

AgentsSka Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Let's see... at some point, I owe a report on the Spartan Super. I'll get to that when I have a chunk of time. In the meantime, all is pretty usual in my world. This week is going to be a bit light in the training department. Yesterday, ran two miles to Destination Deck. Did a ridiculous deck. Ran two miles back to the car. Oh, and that deck included lots of time in a goose poop riddled field.Push-ups, baby. Somehow not pictured: goose poop Also... I hate working out. Can't you tell? This morning was 6@6 with some great people. (6@6 Translation: 6 miles at 6 am.) I spent most of this run holding myself back. Today is the last "real" run of the week for me. I was really forcing myself not to go with the front-runners... who only finished about 30 seconds before me. But, we did sprint out the last 250 yards or so. Because, the guy I was holding back with went. And, I couldn't let him go alone... right? (Or, I needed to race him to the finish.) Tomorrow will be a stadium day. Not sure how many sections will be assigned - but, I know I won't be going full speed. Thursday will be off. Friday will be very, very light. Saturday I slay a Beast. 2 Quote Current Challenge || Previous:: 2020 Reset There are a ton of previous challenges that I'm not linking "Freaking pansies.

Xena Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 They needed a super high-speed lens to get you guys in that photo! Was at a mtn bike race over the weekend (just watching some friends and sneaking in a little training run). The RD added a trail (running) marathon this year. It apparently hadn't been widely publicized because there were only 15 runners, but a few of them were from NP. I didn't get a chance to talk to them, but I thought it was pretty badass to be out running the trails in the middle of a bunch of mountain bikes! 6 at 6 is very catchy. Not sure I could talk myself into something similar, but I like the idea. Quote Xena, Level 14+ Valkyrie Ranger January 2017 December 2016 Oct/Nov 2016 Link to comment
AgentsSka Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Ha! My friend Erica won the female race! I'm not sure that I realized they were running *with* the mountain bikes. That's fun! 6@6 is what we do. The group is called "The Breakfast Club." And, next week, we are starting & finishing at a restaurant called... The Breakfast Club.

Dude next to me is also running the Beast on Saturday. We were "hiking" the stadium & talking Beast the entire morning. It was nice. Also, he's one of the nicest guys ever. Had he seen me reacting that way in time, he would have joined in. And, fuck yes, I am excited! Ska loves the abuse too much to stop smiling. Very, very true. 1 Quote Current Challenge || Previous:: 2020 Reset There are a ton of previous challenges that I'm not linking "Freaking pansies.

jstanlick Posted September 18, 2014 Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 As I would tell me son, there's still two more sleeps left before you take on the Beast. Make sure you enjoy those sleeps as much as possible. No reason to give the Beast any added advantages. I kinda wish the next picture was that guy getting ready to smack you upside the head but then deciding "nahhhh.... he'd still be smiling" I don't know, seems like their spacing is perfect for an ass slap. Or, maybe Ska just got one and that's why he's so happy.

Better yet - the mental image of me post fight camp, dripping in sweat getting on a bus with random Chinese woman I've been talking to for 10 mins while we debated what drugs the crazy guy with cd's, a cd player, and heavy metal music entertained us at the bus stop.... That is awesome... I wish it wasn't so teeny tiny. That's WHAT SHE SAID.... except for the "that is awesome part" ain't nobody in the history of world prefaced that statement with "that is awesome" 3 Quote I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance.
