Trifecta Tribe bound. Eh? Questions marks above your head? Trifecta tribe is a "club" for Spartan Race finishes who finish each of their 3 difficulty races within a calendar year. At the end you get a special medal. Pfft, sounds like I got sucked in consumerism you say? Probably. Vegas Super Spartan marks my 2 out of 3 races done, so you can say I've gone to the rodeo a few times.
My overall impressions left me a bit underwhelmed as I thought Spartan Sprint (their 3 mile version) was more difficult, but don't get me wrong there are definitely more physically demanding obstacles in this race. Filling your own 5 gallon bucket with nearby dirt to the top and carrying it through a narrow pathway, tire flips, tire pulls, and rope climbs are some examples. What I was pleased with is that it was very organized and there was an abundance of "showers" for you to hose yourself off without waiting in a long line. There were probably only 4 water stations, and the first two appeared quickly so I would like to see another water station thrown in there.
If you've never done a mud run before then I would recommend doing this. Its more challenging than a Warrior Dash, but not as difficult as a Tough Mudder. You don't have to be in the best shape to complete the race, just some mental toughness and you're good to go!
Aroo!
