Those events included spear throwing, Atlas ball carry, bucket carry and rope climbing techniques. We are Spartans, and a little snow, mud, wind and cold weather was not going to stop our participants from doing the 2-hour workout inside the facility or outside in the elements,” Taijeron said.ĭuring the training, the athletes competed in events that mirrored events from the Super and Sprint. “We had approximately 45 participants show up for the training. Josefina Taijeron, McKibben PFC manager and Spartan coach, said the goal of the training session was to help people get a feel for the challenges of the event, and the chilly weather conditions did not dampen the athletes’ enthusiasm. There will also be races for ages 14 and younger in 1- or 2-mile obstacle courses. The Sprint Race, the shortest of the Spartan races, delivers more than 20 obstacles over 3-m iles plus. The Super Sprint race will have more than 25 obstacles over 8-miles plus of rugged terrain. The two-hour event was designed to test the athletes’ abilities to mentally and physically compete over the grueling course that awaits them at the Fort Carson-Colorado Springs Super and Sprint Weekend May 5-6, 2018, on post.
