Mocean365 Crew Gears for 2012 Spartan Beast in Killington VT

This past year a crew of us went to compete in the Spartan Beast in Killington VT. It is a 13 mile obstacle race that climbs up and down Killington Peak(3rd highest in VT) many times interspersed with obstacles and challenges along the way. The times ran between 3-6 hours depending on levels.

This year we have added some more people to the crew and would love to see more come aboard. This is a very doable challenge as it is in September of 2012 giving you plenty of time to train.

We also will be offering Mocean365 Spartan Race training ongoing and will be organizing day trips here and there in between the current members offering people the chance to train with each other and of course hang out and bond with a great crew.

Also we collectively will be guiding each other with nutrition and health info, recipes and other avenues to keep the stoke high. Many of the current crew is based in the northeast kingdom of Vt where Mocean365 offers most of our classes and movement curriculum but we will be adding members from beyond. The best way to get involved if you are unsure? grab a friend and come aboard and then make new friends.

Some on the team will be doing it with other members, meaning running the race at the same pace while others will be trying to push themselves to new levels at their own pace so there should be an option for everyone. We are also encouraging other people to try out a Spartan Sprint which is a much shorter version(5k) that is a good beta test to gauge your fitness level for the Spartan Beast.

Most of the current crew is training with Mocean365 either within a class, one on one or small group or, all of the above. We are selectively adding new people to train who are ready for new challenges but need some guidance along the way. Contact Mocean365 at mocean365@gmail.com to learn more about rates and services. keep in mind, we can also work with people remotely, designing programs and offering guidance and tips to keep you on track and we offer comprehensive package that include movement instruction and full nutrition counseling and guidance provided by our partners at Rootswise. As always we offer sliding scale payment options so we will work with people regardless of their financial situation. The only thing we require is commitment and a desire to push yourself to new levels!

Spartan Race, Burlington Vermont by Mocean365

Just got back from the inaugural Spartan Race in Burlington Vermont. Well actually in Williston Vermont at the Catamount Outdooor Center which served as an amazing venue for the sold out event. The course is a 5K course and is filled with challenges along the way including barb wire crawls, wall climbs, pond crossing's and much more. It was put on by the crew over at Peak Races who also put on the Death Race and many other insane events meant to test the limits of hardy women and men.
I got a few shots and some video in between having a go at the event. There are more pics on my galleries over on SmugMug here...http://mocean365.smugmug.com/Other/Spartan-Race-Burlington-Vt/12216329_XaL5i#870061030_8MXyc
