The Overcome & Run podcast team reviews the first Spartan Race of the season, the SoCal Spartan Sprint & Super.
This was a new tweak to the obstacle, and the volunteer on Saturday was saying that you could. Many times with new obstacles/additions, there’s going to be confusion and a learning curve. With all the backlash I’m pretty certain most know by now that you can’t use your feet on the grips, but it was unclear at the time, so let’s just all take a breath here.
And last but not least, we saw a few little changes to some familiar obstacles. The sandbag carry no longer had those pancake sandbags, but rather the long, rectangular sandbags much like a Wreck Bag or a Brute Force sandbag. In my opinion, this made the carry WAY easier. Just throw it over your shoulders and go for a nice walk.
