Men’s Health Urbanathlon

Ok let’s start of I Lift Weights I didn’t Train at all, I thought it would be a walk in the park. I was definitely wrong! The Men’s Health URBANATHLON was definitely a dope experience, I chose The Classic Race — 10.5 miles — 19 Obstacles lol Go Hard Or Go Home.
The race was well put together extremely organized, with Hydration Stations & Motivation Fist Bumps throughout the entire Race. The 10.5 miles was harder then I thought, but it was very scenic, taking in all of Flushing Meadow Park & the opportunity to Soak in Citi Field while running up & down the stairs was breathtaking! *Queenz Finest*
The Obstacles were ok, nothing special. Honestly they were weak! Almost Lame in a sense… I was looking forward to something more intense. I would of liked my upper body to be pushed just as hard, as my lower body!
Yes Yes I Finished! Received a Bagel, Banana & a Metal at the finish line, How Cool is that? I want to thank Unilocal Sierra 4 putting me on & Men’s Health 4 hosting a Dope URBANATHLON. I will definitely be back next year GOLD RACER!

This was my first run ever but most likely not the last as yes it’s true, I’ve caught marathon fever!!! Whoosh!!! Rooooar!!!
Had it not been for Sierra B. and Unilocal’s offer of a comp’d participation, I probly would’ve been, well at 6am on a Sat… definitely asleep, but otherwise just vegging out and not living life to the fullest. I’m so grateful to have been a part of the urbanarhalon as it was a test of my endurance and a fun social event.
Beforehand I rejoined back into my gym a week prior and trained like Caityln Jenner pre op. Mentally, I read as many correct running form articles I could get my hands on. I was so phsyched!!!
After the fact, I threw up 3x’s on the subway, having to get off and on at a few of the stops since motion made me nauseous. I finally got sicka bein sick and took a cab home. Felt like Caitlyn J. post op. It was ROUGH and I looked like shit. I couldn’t feel my face at all.
Worth it! I’d do it again!!! Getting to run around the bases right on the field was worth it alone!!! Thanks Unilocal for making my dreams come true one event at a time!!!

This was the first run that I ever did in my life, and because of my experience here, it definitely will not be my last.
I participated in the Urbanathalon Sprint which is 4 miles and composed of 12 obstacles. It was tiring after 3 miles, however, the last mile was the most tiring because majority of the obstacles were at the last mile. From stair climb, to bus climb, cab jump, wall jump, etc. The whole time it was challenging but the volunteers there were nice and encouraging.
Getting to the event was a breeze and parking was easy as well and complimentary at the south field parking lot. The whole event ran really smoothly and was a very pleasant experience. I will definitely be coming back here and participating in future runs.
Highly recommended for those that want a little challenge.
