Evan Boydstun at the Spartan Race
Total Pull-Up Count: 16,800
5 Kilometers (3.1 U.S. Miles), 20 Obstacles (20 U.S. Obstacles, the conversion is the same). I haven’t ran the mile since P.E. back in high school, but I figured I do enough HIIT cardio and listen to plenty of podcasts with Ultra Marathon runners, that I thought I would dominate this Spartan Race. I actually didn’t do too bad. For Males 25-29 (U.S. Males, conversion is the same, I think), I actually placed 12th overall.
Now I’m hooked, I caught the elite race bug. You know that guy that’s a douche that probably drives a lifted Jeep and nonstop talks about CrossFit and his next Spartan Race? I’m going to make sure I become him.
Anyways, after the race, I came home to shower because I smelled like butthole and realized I needed to knock out my pull-ups. I went back to the gym and did 300 pull-ups in 26 minutes. It’s really bizarre what you can force your body to do when you have control over the mental aspect. We’re way too soft nowadays.
