Warrior races

Anyone here participate in these? 

We have one coming up in Nelspruit on the 24th of September and I thought it a good idea to sign up for the Commando. Should be good fun, however, having never done this before I'm quite nervous!

commando

if that means what it should mean you should be quite nervous

I've done quite a few . They can be tough depending on your fitness level but otherwise they are a lot of fun. Be prepared to get very dirty , usually a lot of mud involved in the obstacles.

 

Also if you have a fear of heights some obstacles may scare you , but you can always chicken out and do burpees instead.

If you are racing in general batches they are good fun, best enjoyed with friends.

If you racing in the elite batches then it is a bit tougher with no assistance but still a lot of fun...

Not worth being nervous, just enjoy

These things look plenty like we had in the army - we called them an "opfok"... Now people pay good money to do it!

My experience and my experience only.... I have done a couple warrior races of sorts, I did the 10kay version. I found it good fun but careful on some of the obstacles. I found them to be quite dangerous and a guy I was doing it with was seriously injured on a big water slide obstacle due to a free for all attitude amongst participants.

 

you can always do burpees instead of some obstacles.
