Anyone aiming for a Trifecta in 2014?

I think I'm going to give it a shot! Now that there's going to be a Super in the Boston area, it's much more doable. I was already planning on the Beast, Amesbury Sprint, and the Fenway Time Trials. It's going to be a fun 2014 :)

    I'm going to get the Trifecta in 2014 Doing the Sprint and Beast in Charlotte. Not sure where I'm going to do a Super at. I'm thinking it might be a good excuse for a weekend road trip somewhere.
  • I finished the Carolina Beast last month, and I am going to get the Trifecta this coming year. Can't wait!
  • Hey all! I'm shooting for a triple trifecta !

    Thanks for the group add summertime. I think I'll just aim for the single-fecta this year since I'm just getting interested. After the first, I'll probably be addicted though. lol

    Do tell me what it is like after you complete it. I'm nervous about my first one in May and would love to hear about the obstacles that your race had in it!

    The SoCal Sprint was my third Spartan race. I've also complete the Malibu Sprint and the Vegas Super.

    SoCal was a lot of fun. The weather was beautiful. There were no obstacles I hasn't seen before -- 6 and 8 foot walls, inverted wall, traverse wall, Herculean hoist, rope climb, spear throw, sand carry, tractor pull, tire flips, slippery wall, fire jump, gladiators, etc. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. The hills were pretty gnarly but not as bad as Malibu since it rained the whole time there, which made everything extra slippery.

    My next race will be the Vegas Super in April. Aroo!

    Hey all! I'm shooting for a triple trifecta !
    You are an animal!

    I got my first Trifecta last year so this year I am shooting for a double. Charlotte Sprint this week, Asheville and Virginia Supers, Carolina and California Beast and I'll need to find one more sprint to complete the double. 2014 will certainly be a good year!

    Which California Beast? Monterey or Temecula?

    I was going to try for Trifecta this year but family plans nixed the Carolina Beast (as well as Tough Mudder. WTF for TM and Spartan scheduling both on the same weekend as the Marine Corp Marathon). I've also had some setbacks this winter and don't feel comfortable running Charlotte Sprint so I'm just volunteering this time around. May also volunteer for Virginia Super and continue to bank free races for 2015.

    And it looks like volunteering this weekend is going to be very interesting. Spartan just posted that every single obstacle is going to be water based and they've had to move parking off-site due to all the mud. http://spartanrace.tumblr.com/post/80168377816/a-freak-cold-air-damming-in-eastern-states-has

    I saw pictures they posted of the flooding. Looks like it will be interesting. Wish I could be there.

    If only I could. I have enough trouble with my ex for the local races, and work travel. For Citi Field, I'm going to have to drive there Saturday morning, and drive back the same day. Bah. Maybe next year! Especially since I heard we get a free annual pass for volunteering for the Ultra. :)

    Boo! But I totally understand. They haven't released anything yet on volunteering for the Ultra but that was what they did last year and I totally raced Saturday and volunteered Sunday.

    The plan is to be there for Monterey. If that falls through I may have to make the trip to Dallas instead.

    That would have been the smart thing to do. I missed Georgia too. Totally regretting not doing both days.
