Time To Thrive

It's funny, everyone in my every day life tells me how fit and healthy I am, but the guy who came first in my age group did this distance over and hour faster, with 3 more kilometres and 20 obstacles.
There are levels! Lol

Took it slow after having a week off every thing due to a well timely 3 day bender @ Bugjam: VW's, dance tents, a fair ground, jet car races, a great bunch of people and.... ✌️
Anyway, 2 weeks to go until the 4th Trifecta event, and another 1 day'er, and an Age Group Nationals Beast... so I'd better get on it!

Found a new way of adding a 2nd hill climb part of the Pendle Hill loop, turning the standard 9k into over 11.5km....
So 2 loops + this extra .5 will come out at 20.5km and 3 hill climbs!
After getting 3 fasted ever times for the Spartan Beast, Super and Sprint since I started in 2018 all at the Midlands Trifecta weekend last weekend, new creative ways to get better at Spartan are paying off, including putting Sled Push, Sled Pull and Sandbag carrying round the gym into one circuit!!

With a bit of an ankle twinge and not wanting to temp fate before doing the Age Group in a few weeks...

Another Beast session done... I thought I'd drop the weights slightly and do more reps, problem is, I don't feel like I've done anything.

So I've done the 18km double loop a few times now, and this was my 2nd fastest time ...0.01 km/pace slower, so I'll l take that as a win!
