Reebok Singapore Spartan Race 2015 | welovedayout

The day that all Spartans were waiting for had finally arrived. Singapore Spartan Race started from Nicoll Highway, passing through the scenic Marina Bay area and looped back from the floating platform to the main village. 

It consisted of a 6km run with 28 obstacles, which sounded more daunting comparing to any races that was held in Singapore before.

Thanks to the morning light showers, the weather was perfect for us. 

When we reached the race area we saw a mini obstacle course set up for the Junior Spartan. Boy, were they enthusiastic! The kids sprinted down the course, and blitzed across the obstacles as fast as they could. 

This is definitely something all kids should come and try.

After the race, some children were seen challenging among themselves and others were resting after the tiring obstacles race.

There was also a complimentary warm up session by Fitness First to help the Spartans to get ready. Looking at their serious faces made me wonder did I do enough training. Hahaha!

At the flag off, all were smiles and cheers anticipating the obstacles yet to come.

The first few obstacles were quite easy to clear. Like the barb-wire crawl and low wall.

As the obstacles were concentrated at 3 areas, you really max out your energy at each of these areas. 

For me the most challenging obstacles, were the Bucket Brigade and overcoming the 2.4m high wall. The Bucket Brigade definitely drained me out as I had to zig-zag twice over the designated course, and it felt like never ending. I had to stop 4 times to catch my breath. 

The 2.4m high wall was an obstacle that needed teamwork from fellow Spartans. A helpful push is a must, to scale the high wall after conquering other stations of obstacles.

Back to Spartan village, we had to conquer this cargo-net wall which can be a daunting obstacle for those who has a fear of height.

Jumping over the fire was the finale of the Spartan race. This was indeed the most rewarding jump as the happy participants showed on their glowing faces while crossing the fire together as a team or individual.

There was also a complimentary wash down service after completing the race.

Even Mr Joe De Sena the Spartan CEO was there to give a helping hand.

Overall, this was an enjoyable race to be experienced with like minded friends. To rebuild the kampong spirit and relive some good old army SOC (Standard Obstacle Course) days. It was indeed a race to forge awesome friendship bonds.

We are very thankful for this wonderful experience, and we'll definitely train smarter for next year's Reebok Spartan Race!
