Spartan Beast. Aroo?

[Phteven]

Just signed up for the Spartan beast in November.
I have no idea why. I'm seriously freaked out. In 2 month and a half months I need to double my cardio fitness. Increase my upper body strength about tenfold, learn to throw a spear, traverse a wall and climb a rope.
I like to step out of my comfort zone but Spartan is a really tough race and the beast is the 20km version. And DH is out. His ankle is rooted. I have to do this solo.

Why do I do this stuff to myself? I'm beginning to wonder if repeatedly putting myself into situations where I am genuinely terrified is a sign of some kind of psychological problem.

Can someone please reassure me that I can do this.

Nooo. I wanted the trifecta but to get it I would have to go to Melbourne for a sprint and Brisbane for a super.
So now to get the trifecta (without traveling all over the country) I will have to start next year and do another beast.

You can do this.

Hey, if I can do the 10km stampede in October, you can do this, and more.

Shake your fist at your nebulous concerns, and then go practice your spear tossing. Spear spearing? Spear flinging?

And then go for a run.

And then eat a live heart. Or something.

You're gonna smash it, and then come in here and whinge about all the people who (like me) walk between the different crazy tasks.

Stallion heart. for sure.

You know you can...you signed up

Sounds amazing.

I did wonder why you were pinning interesting things.
