There's really no comparison to the Beast. The location was MUCH more difficult. The Beast in SC has over 1700 of elevation change, the Sprint only had 300. The obstacles are pretty much the same, just a lot more of them. Well, last year's Beast had a couple of really tough obstacles, the second barbed wire crawl was ridiculous. Like Tuneses said, the Beast is a lot of mountain and a lot of pain.so how much of a step up or step down in your case is the sprint to the beast?
That's not to say the Sprint is easy. In comparison to the Warrior Dash or other typical mud runs, the Sprint is a brute. On a trail comparable to the one the Charlotte Sprint was run on, I can do 9 minute miles pretty consistently. The sprint was 4.8 miles and it took me 1:16 to finish.0 -
I found the Super to be really easy. It's the only one I've done to date. But then I had just ran a half marathon the month before, so the distance was a breeze.
I ended up taking forever because I was on a team with a few really slow people who didn't bring any water or nutrition and I was the only one with supplies. I'm sure I kept at least one teammate alive :ohwell: ... took about 2:45 to finish but I'm sure on my own it would have been about 2 hrs.
My sprint is coming up June 1st and I'm doing it with my husband. We're going to go pretty slow since he's going to struggle to run the full distance. We'll be doing quite a bit of walking. I'm proud of him for giving it a go though
