Personal Comments:
This was first Spartan Race, and definitely one of the most exciting things I have ever done! The entire process was engaging, from the inspirational daily emails and my relentless training. The more I looked into the Spartan Race, the more I started to understand that it's more than just a race, it's a lifestyle.
I train to grow the strength needed to overcome life's daily obstacles, and the obstacles I create for myself. Putting myself in the path of the Spartan Race meant a commitment and focus I have rarely experienced. My regular 4 mile runs became 6, and included dunks in every creek I passed. The large stones on the side of the trail became more than scenery. The gym has taken on new meaning. The world seems now like my fitness playground.
I highly recommend everyone to train for a Spartan Race. To complete the course is a grueling and invigorating endeavor. One worth repeating.

Thanks for sharing. I am doing the super tomorrow in Sac. This is my first.

[@Itallaboutwatithink]

Congras!! Great first person view of the whole race. Looks like hardcore fun.

[@chadkmetz]

great video. thanks for posting. getting ready for the Sacramento sprint this coming November and was looking for some kind of an idea of what was coming and this answered it all. Great job on the race as well Spartan!

[@dancondie6681]

Man, your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for the video. Doing this one here now in November 2021 and looking forward to it. but that was a lot of barbed wire crawling.

[@patriotridge]

That was awesome, thank you for sharing your experience. I have never been in a race and at 48 years of age I am seriously considering training for a Super coming up in August 2016.

[@Boomchacha100]

I'm so excited. I'm gonna compete in the Atlanta one soon.

[@dylanwehunt1856]

I know this video is old, but i completed my first spartan race yesterday. i did the Sacramento sprint (at Van Vleck Ranch) and it was amazing. 5.1 miles and 18 obstacles (I think). it was such a good experience, I will definitely be attempting another one in the future... once i get my sprint time down and have less obstacle failures, i will upgrade to trying the super. AROO! AROO! AROO!

[@BrianPoseley]

Extremely impressive Collin! Amazing job!

[@CollinPoseley]

Thanks man! It was a blast! You and me next time.....

[@fuanqueso]

Think about doing my very first spartan race soon. Pretty stoked, the video is awesome man congrats!

[@SuperSani87]

Great editing. Thanks for posting!

[@CollinPoseley]

+SuperSani87 Thanks!!! Are you going to run it this year?

[@SuperSani87]

+Collin Poseley I'm thinking about running it this February in Temecula. Decisions, decisions! Your video is helping me decide what I need to work on to get ready.

[@CollinPoseley]

+SuperSani87 You can totally do it! It's worth it! One of the best things I've ever done!

[@kembooo000]

man that was epic to watch!

[@snowaIker]

Rabatavus The background started at white then it was colored

[@snowaIker]

love this video!

[@snowaIker]

Rabatavus did you really run this too?

[@CollinPoseley]

Fuanquesco- do it! Just be sure you're running as part of your training. 3 - 6 miles a few days a week should get you there! Good luck!

[@Propertydrhomerepair]

Very cool!

[@na27der]

u 4got the text for obstacle 20.5 Muscle Cramp! Well done, finisher! ;)

[@Ninelkabullet]

Aroooooo Spartan❤️

[@sweetmemories08]

Hi! Awesome video! I am running this course on Nov.7th to complete my trifecta! Do you think this would be a good course for spectators?

[@CollinPoseley]

+SoniaaC There is a decent spectator area, right during the Monkey bars / Rope Climb / Traverse. So, yeah! I think it'd be great to spectate!

[@mielej18]

Any idea how long the race ended up being total? Trying to plan for the 2015 Super in November - thank you

[@CollinPoseley]

+Joe Miele Hey! It was 8.2 miles! Good luck!!

[@mielej18]

+Collin Poseley awesome - thank you!

[@mielej18]

+Collin Poseley and relatively flat, correct?

[@Spartan_0916]

+Collin Poseley any water stations there? hydration packs, belts really necessary?

[@CollinPoseley]

+Vadim Apitsiauri I used a running belt with two 12 oz bottles. I ended up losing both bottles during the swim / barbed wire! I would definitely run with some gu or electrolyte gel. I remember there being 2-3 stations!

[@SOLDIER1st_Class]

Do you know anyone with the sprint video?

[@bricology]

If you want to skip the pre-race bullshit and get straight to the race, go to 01:08.

[@queyinyin2927]

Man that is stupid! Real barbed wires? I wonder how many people got stabbed by barbed wires, infected, gangrene and amputated a the hospital with a huge mounting hospital bill. Any lawsuits against Sena and his company?

[@CollinPoseley]

+Queyin Yin It wasn't that bad actually! I don't think I even got scratched!

[@jeromecottner1376]

+Queyin Yin It isn't bad at all, I haven't gotten a scratch on any of my races. There is also a waiver that every participant signs prior to the race so I would assume that there are no lawsuits against the company. More about challenging yourself, and stepping out of your comfort zone. The satisfaction that I get from running these races is watching people accomplish something that they never thought in a million years they could do. The camaraderie and team building is similar to what I experienced in the Marine Corps except among total strangers. So in all honesty I have never heard of a racer once say they are worried about being poked with barbed wire.
