Rugged Maniac was my gateway drug to Spartan! Thanks for the nice overview and memory refresher. Maybe I’ll do another one next time they come to Phoenix.
Right on! And yes, hope to see you, we'd love to get out to Phoenix. We'll have to see how next season shapes up.
This video is now a forever classic since Rugged Maniac just shut its doors. Bummer. RM was a family friendly and fun event in between spartans!
I just signed up for mine in March. Much love from SC!!!
Excellent, have a great race in March!! And thanks for checking in from SC, much love back!
Looks fun. Bad luck with the injury. Am doing the Spartan Trifecta weekend in a few weeks!
Could you guys do a video of what you do to recover after a race?
Hope you have a speedy recovery Damer!
Thank you! And yes, that is a great video topic, thank you for the suggestion! Basically, the harder the race, the more compression and ice we might use. There is stretching involved, and rest too. Turmeric, hydration, and believe it or not, McDonald's immediately after the race if we do well and Burger King if we suck. Our nutrition choices are not recommended, just sharing what goes on for full transparency.
@@OCRKings Thank you! I have done a stadium race at Fenway for the past 4 years and recovery is still a work in process. Looking to get into some bigger races in 2024. Thanks for all the tips guys!
Cool stuff! I should try a Rugged Maniac at least once.
Are you guys coming to Vernon NJ tomorrow for the Spartan?
Thanks! And sadly, no. We're both out of action at the moment. Good luck in NJ! Hope it's not a crazy rainy mess!
@@OCRKings Ah shoot, hadn't realized. Not exactly shocked, with how much you guys get up to - hope it's nothing serious and to see you out there soon!
Really this was done in 16 minutes!? 😮
Oh goodness no, we wish! It was a 5k run and it took us about 40 minutes in the rain, mud, etc.
Mad respect to the guy in jeans at the beginning.
Right on!
