Welcome back! In this episode we get right into our epic and gruelling 10k Spartan race. This intense race was no ordinary feat. Set against the backdrop of beautiful Blue Mountain, it was made ever more challenging by the muddied terrain. The constant struggle to maintain balance while conquering uphill and downhill sections added an extra layer of intensity. Then throw in 25 relentless obstacles, everything from treacherous monkey bars to crawling under menacing barbed wire and lugging heavy sandbags through the mud.

We share our invaluable takeaways and the profound self-discoveries that emerged from this demanding experience. We also discuss our contemplation of whether we'll return to the Spartan arena and what exciting adventures lie ahead.

We both express deep gratitude for the dedication we've poured into our physical health over the past year, setting ourselves up to perform at our best in this unforgiving competition.

To wrap it up, we reflect on our friend and brother, Dan Fotopoulos, who is embarking on a four-day vision quest in Texas. While we hope he returns with newfound insight and motivation, we can’t help but wonder if he’ll come back as a changed, and perhaps, slightly eccentric individual. 

We hope you enjoy this weeks episode of  Conscious Collingwood as we explore and reflect on this awesome Spartan adventure.
