Adventure Racing & Which Gaming Personalities Would Thrive

By Rob Sutter


Video game characters have a bevy of skills to be proud of and I don't think that creativity can do them enough justice. While these people may be able to break the simplistic boundaries of Mario, I don't know if anyone has truly tapped into the athletic nature that these personalities could possess. It's clear that these personalities have done well when it comes to endurance running, making them perfect for adventure racing. There are a few characters that could make it work best.

If you're talking about the "Assassin's Creed" games, there have been three different main assassins that you take control of. It doesn't exactly matter which one you would go with because between Altair, Ezio and Connor, you can't go wrong. Each of them has proven to be effective in the art of killing but that doesn't come without a great amount of athleticism. Between scaling large buildings and dashing from city guards, there doesn't seem to be physical limits for these three men.

Nathan Drake is not an assassin himself but he is nonetheless conditioned, which is what the "Uncharted" series has showcased. While he is quick on his feet, able to outrun just about any force that comes his way, I think that his athletic ability deserves to be recognized. While swinging from one pillar to another would cause others to lose their nerve, Drake simply does it. He's not someone who seems to understand fear, which makes him an even more effective competitor.

Adventure racing certainly boasts a great amount of opportunities for people to prove themselves. I think that they have the potential to excel amongst the competition and this has much to do with the way that they operated in high-pressure situations in the past. This time, however, they wouldn't have to worry about risking their lives but rather simply pushing themselves beyond their breaking points to see how far they could go. This mindset is needed for those who want to compete in events held by Spartan Race.

These kinds of events are supposed to showcase the most battle-ready of athletes and even those who don't pride themselves on being athletic stand to take part in adventure racing. This means that people of all forms, regardless of how athletic they may be, can make success happen thanks to a high level of work ethic. It's not going to happen, though, if you are afraid of pushing yourself. If you aren't fearful or can cast fear to the wayside, you'll be able to work well.
