With it being the Spartan Race World Championships week we had to share for this Training Tuesday the spear throw. The spear throw is one of the few obstacles in the Spartan Race lineup that really requires a lot of skill and sometimes a little patience.
Once again we saw the spear throw played a major role in the first Spartan Race US Championship Series event.

Of the women, I only know of Alyssa Hawley and Faye Stenning among the top pre-race contenders who actually made the throw.
