Ranking The Qualities For An Obstacle Event

By Rob Sutter


I'm sure that those who are looking into getting into an obstacle event are most likely going to keep certain aspects in mind. I'm sure that there will be some better than others, depending on who you talk to. However, no one is able to win a race of this caliber without keeping all of them in mind. They all have varying levels of importance but if you were to ask me which ones are the most vital, then I think it would be worth ranking how they stand as far as importance is concerned.

3. Physical prowess should be maintained when you're working towards a race. Those who want to make the most of such are not going to arrive on the track totally out of shape, are they? They understand what is needed for a competition and not working out for a number of months is not going to be the feature that brings home a win. As vital as this is, it's not exactly the biggest priority on the list, as there are others deserving of coverage.

2. Awareness is going to have to come into play as well. This race is different from others, as simply being faster isn't the only quality that is going to help you. You're going to have to know what lies ahead, such as a muddy surface which will require you to be more careful as you traverse the environment. If you aren't mindful of what lies ahead, you may be left disappointed with the potentially shoddy performance that you will put forth, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled.

1. More than anything else, confidence may be the game changer, whether you realize it or not. All you have to do is focus on the kinds of attitudes you'll find in competitions like Spartan Race and you will see just how much matters are changed for the better. An obstacle event may prove to be one of the best events to get into but you have to want it. You're going to have to work up the attitude needed to move forward, no matter what potential dangers may rest ahead.

If you think that ranking different concepts of an obstacle event is going to be different from one person to the next, you would not be wrong on the matter. In fact, I think that everyone is going to have their own opinions as far as this goes. Does physicality matter to some competitors more than anything which may be considered cognitive, for example? It truly depends on who is competing but it's clear that such ideas matter, whether individuals may be aware of their varying levels of importance or not.
