I did the Sprint and the Super this weekend. The Sprint was a joke in comparison with the Montana Beast, but the Super was painful today (having a bummed shoulder and a tender calf from a cramp from yesterday). I ran with my Vivoactive HR and the distances were a lot shorter! The Sprint was 6.96 kms and the Super was 11.89 kms (the races were supposed to be 8 and 14 kms respectively).
Spartan Canada doesn't get the same quality when it comes to the obstacles Spartan US gets (the twister as an example).
In regards about the burpees, it's the open division. They don't enforce burpees in this division, but in the Elite, Competitive and Age categories do. But as a downside, you are not allowed to help people.
As a personal note, I have a lot to work to do if I want to complete the grip obstacles and the Atlas Carry next year. That was a massive struggle in the past two days.
