The Intensity that a Death Race Can Possess

By Rob Sutter


Forget everything that you know about normal racing. Remember when you used to run laps around the track in high school in order to fulfill a certain curriculum? I want you to take that and place it out of your mind because once you start to learn about a death race and actually take part in, you'll be surprised by how much your body will be pushed. If you can persevere and see each of the staples of these races through, you'll prove yourself as a hardened competitor.

Maybe you think that a death race is all in the name and isn't terribly detrimental; what's the worst that can happen to you? Yes, you're going to be running long distances, but doesn't that come with the territory? Don't think that this is the only aspect that makes up these sorts of races, since you'll find a litany of other elements at work that will either make you tougher or have you second guessing yourself. This is the kind of impact that Spartan Race can have on the growth of one's toughness, physically and otherwise.

While this is a competition, I'm sure you aren't going to be the only one who's ill-prepared for it if that is the case. After all, you have to go through areas where fire seems to be just about everywhere. It should also be mentioned that barbed wire stands as an obstacle which has to be maneuvered about. This race definitely lives up to its name but if you're tough enough, you can definitely get through it and show that, without a shadow of a doubt, you belong.

Perhaps this event is intimidating to you and you don't feel like you can go about it on your own. If this is the case, you don't have to worry because you have the opportunity to work alongside others in a team, too. While you still need to have your own sense of willpower, I believe that the pressure is taken off of the competitors to a small degree as they move closer to the end. Your team is a unified structure and it must stay that way until you reach the goal.

A death race is able to push people forward, thereby showcasing how far they can go in terms of limits. You have to make sure that you can do it, though, and that you have the nerve so that you don't back away or shy from the obstacles that lie ahead. If you can do this, maybe you'll find yourself competing in a number of races to come. If you cannot, maybe the next race is one that you'll be best suited to watching from the sidelines.
