I had a little fun with this one, the intention of this race was to never race but to have a hell of a lot fun with some amazing people.  It was such a great day out, and an amazing course.  So instead of doing my usual write up, I thought I will do it comic book style (of course all the obstacles that were on the course have been included, so if you plan to do the Winter Warrior Challenge, you will still have some idea of what to expect).

Hope you enjoy reading it.

Four words that I will probably not forget in a hurry, along with the 100 other participants that participated in the 2nd ever overnight Spartan Hurricane Heat.  A 12 hour overnight event starting at 8pm, that will be testing me both mentally and physically, but of course it's not just the event that tests you, its everything around you too.  Am I brave or just stupid for signing up, still a question that I will continue to ask myself, and will continue to ask myself until the next one.

Why, why, why the beep do you sign up to an event that you know that will be testing you at every opportunity, there will be no room for pussy footing around, you will be pushed to beyond your own capable limits, and its down to you whether or not you continue or tap out.  Emotionally and physically it will be challenging, can I handle it? what the hell am I doing? what if I can't keep up? what if I can't do it? what if what if what if... There were many what ifs, but how am I to know what I am truely capable of without even trying. How far could I get to push myself?
