a few months ago... i got a gchat from brad saying he was signing up for a spartan race in july. i didnt think much of it and thought it would be a good goal for him to train/accomplish. then i googled spartan race, watched a video and laughed my head off...i thought he was crazy and might die. for the first few weeks of training he did good. he would run on the treadmill, was playing soccer a few times a week and would do some p90x. then it was just soccer on saturdays and golfing during the week(which doesnt count)!night before the race...he had a healthy dinner at cafe rio and went to bed around 10pm. it was cute how he had everything all set up and ready to go for the morning.
day of the race...the alarm went off at 6:15am and he went to midway to run his 8 mile obstacle course. he was pumped/nervous. there were walls to jump over, ropes, monkey bars, balance beams, crawling under barbed wire, jumping over fire, mud and miles through the mountains! he finished the race around 2 1/2 hours. heres some pics of his race!
day after the race...pain everywhere, but he has the bragging rights that he did the super spartan, a sweet medal, a tee shirt, a sunburn and some bug bites! also first time racers should probably start off with a 5k instead of the super spartan!
