When I wrote my Spartan Race Report after the Sprint in Semenyih last year, I was ready to write off all the upper body obstacles in the Spartan Race. I was sure that I would never be able to do any of them. Like I said about the Monkey Bars: There was never any chanceContinue reading “Thoughts from a Spartan Worrier”

Spartan Super 2019 – Semenyih
The Spartan Race feels like having a baby. During the race, I swore I’d never do it again. Afterwards, when the pain is forgotten, all I can think about is the next race. So here I am, back again, for more… …with a new partner in crime – The Warrior Princess. I had promised toContinue reading “Spartan Super 2019 – Semenyih”
Viper Challenge Cyberjaya 2018
During the Spartan Sprint earlier this year, I vowed that it would be my first and last obstacle course race (OCR). Then, a couple of months back, I did the Northface Outdoor Challenge. Last weekend, I completed the Viper Challenge in Cyberjaya. Okay, I admit it, I’ve been infected with the bug. Next year, I’llContinue reading “Viper Challenge Cyberjaya 2018”
The Northface Outdoor Challenge 2018
On Sunday 14 October 2018, the Jungle Babes entered their first team OCR event – the Northface Outdoor Challenge. In our team of nine, six were racing for the first time ever. To encourage our newbie racers, we opted for the advance category – 15 km and 8 obstacles – instead of the elite categoryContinue reading “The Northface Outdoor Challenge 2018”
Spartan Sprint 2018 – Semenyih
After months of training, it all culminates on this one day – race day. Team Jungle Babes lost a few members to injury during training and other things, but we made it in the end. We were registered for the elite category – why elite? Because we didn’t want to race in the sun. TurnsContinue reading “Spartan Sprint 2018 – Semenyih”
Are You Spartan Ready?
Update! Now that I’ve completed a number of Spartan races, I wanted to revisited this post and edit a few things… This will be the first time I’m entering a Spartan Race so I really have no idea what I’m in for. Sure, I’ve researched photos and videos to get an idea of the obstaclesContinue reading “Are You Spartan Ready?”
Spartan Race Challenges Part 2
So I finally found the Spartan Rules Book and realised that there are a number of other obstacles that I missed when I did my first round of Spartan research. Why am I obsessing over the obstacles? Well, I’m your proverbial Asian girl and before an exam, I try to make sure I can answerContinue reading “Spartan Race Challenges Part 2”
Fitness First Spartan Workshop 4
This was the fourth and final of the Fitness First Spartan Workshops before the race at Semenyih next week. It was held at the Town Park in MyTown Shopping Mall and it was meant to be the toughest of all the workshops. Was it the toughest? I can’t say for certain because I didn’t completeContinue reading “Fitness First Spartan Workshop 4”
Spartan Training at The Playground
Like your stereotypical Asian kid before an exam, I have been obsessing over the Spartan Race obstacles I might have to face on race day. The conversations I’ve been having are not unlike those I used to have during SWOT Vac: Who’s been studying for what topics. Which areas I’m going to have difficulties with. TheContinue reading “Spartan Training at The Playground”
Fitness First Spartan Workshop No. 2
Yes. I’m a glutton for punishment. I went back for the second Fitness First Spartan Workshop. You would’ve thought I’d had enough after the first one, but no. I guess it’s a little like having a baby – after the first one, you swear you’re never having another one and then you do… I thoughtContinue reading “Fitness First Spartan Workshop No. 2”
