Spartan Race!!!

Are you touch enough
This had to be one of the toughest things I have ever done in my life! No kidding, I had no clue what the course consisted of or the type of terrane it was on. All I knew was the run would be approximately 3 miles with 10 obstacles. So I trained to run 3 miles... Boy was I wrong.
The race took place on the Tuxedo Ridge Ski Center. Hills, hills, hills.
My heat was at 10am on Sunday June 5, 2011. The heats ran every 30 minutes from 8am to 2pm. It was packed and a lot of fun.

| The beginning to the end. |
 |
| What I looked like before the race. Still have no clue what is about to happen. |
 |
| It's almost time. |
 |
| Still excited and nervous. |
This was the beginning to my race. This first hill was a wake up call. I was not prepared!!
Watch till the end of the video... too funny
 |
| This was our first obstacle. |
 |
| This was fun. A wet soapy wall. |
This is a better look of that wall.
This is the second set of 30 burpees. See if you failed an obstacle, you had to do 30 burpees.
Talk about mud!! We had to crawl uphill in mud under barbed wire. Before this obstacle, I have already done 3 sets of burpees. My upper body was week and numb. Mud was pouring down the hill in your face. It was crazy.
Look how far we had to go.
This says it all.
The finish line.
They just couldn't make it an easy finish.
What a run!!
We did it!!
Overall, this was a great race and a wonderful experience. I have decided to keep it up and run more of these races. My next one is on September 24, 2011.
The Super Spartan in Staten Island, NY. It will be a big challenge. It's an 8 mile run with 15 obstacles.
Wish me luck!!!
