Effort: Obstacle Racing Can't Be Done Without It

By Rob Sutter


If you're looking to prove your worth in a competitive environment, then you should step up to obstacle racing. You'll be met with one obstacle after another, each one able to test someone in just about every sense. While physical prowess is definitely useful in great amounts, do not forget about the idea of effort, which is just as important. In fact, you may be able to find a number of people who will tell you that this aspect holds a much greater amount of importance on the matter.

I think that the initial taste of what effort could do for me was earned when I was in middle school. I regard this period as one of my more awkward phases, mainly because I was searching to see who I would become later on in life. Nonetheless, I worked hard at school, even when some of the subjects were not fully grasped by me. After a while, though, the work paid off and I found myself achieving higher marks because of said work that was put forth.

You're probably wondering how this will be able to work into racing, though. After all, you should be able to attain some sense of physical fitness so that you won't wind up becoming gassed late into the event. This is true but do not forget that image is only one layer of a competitor. Just because someone may look as though he or she is made for an event does not necessarily make it so. It's all about the work you put in and you'll realize this soon enough.

I don't know how much weight one's appearance is going to have when you get down to true competition. If obstacle racing is the name of the game, then effort is going to mean much more than I'm sure a number of individuals would like to give it credit for. How else are you going to be able to possess the drive needed in order to reach the end? I think that it will only help you out in the long run as you're working with events such as Spartan Race.

For all intents and purposes, obstacle racing is meant to have winners but who will be able to attain such spots? I believe that those will be attained by the individuals who are ready to put forth the best efforts that one can imagine. If they cannot find it in themselves to bring about said efforts, then it may be safe to say that they've already lost. If they're willing to go the distance, however, then I don't think it will be long until they reach the level of success they're deserving of.
