Team Ripped Conquers Spartan Race

On August 27, 2016 members from Ripped Performance conquered the Washington DC Spartan Sprint in Mechansville, Maryland. This was the first race for three of our members and a repeat for two. They all helped and encouraged each other throughout the course. The Spartan Race is designed to test your limits and push you past your comfort zone and it did just that. The length was 4.75 miles with 24 obstacles – many of them focusing on upper-body strength.  This year there were less walls to scramble but more obstacles like the monkey bars, the rope climb (with no knots this time around) and the rig that features rings, a baseball, and a horizontal bar. We also have a member working towards her Trifecta and this was her second race – next up – The Beast!

Congrats to all of our members who received their medal. Once a Spartan, always a Spartan. Aroo!
