Mud, Sweat, and Tears

August 14, 2022 — Seattle Spartan Race Spear throw and sandbag carry? No sweat! In just under two hours, thirteen athletes from LivingFit CrossFit bested the Seattle Spartan Super 10,000 meter and 28-obstacle challenge. Coach Patrick Dougherty took it one step further by achieving the full Trifecta, adding in the Beast 21k and Sprint 5k. A huge achievement for everyone — especially the eleven athletes participating in their FIRST Spartan Race. Congratulations! A big thank you to coaches Patrick Dougherty and Roger Chin, both experienced Spartans, for taking the time to host obstacle training classes in the weeks prior. Without their help we would have stumbled and surely tacked on an extra hundred penalty burpees. Remember, these events are open to everyone! Many of our athletes, ranging from 16 to 63 years old, had never run more than a couple of miles before, let alone thrown a spear or climbed a rope. We will always ensure that you have the proper training leading up to the event and stick together to finish as a team. So whether you are a new or seasoned athlete, we welcome you to join us.
