Andy and I finished our first Spartan Spring last Saturday. It was 4.2 miles with 24 obstacles spread throughout. I've had a goal for about two years to train and be able to do a Spartan Sprint, ever since I did my first terrain race with my friends. Spartans are tougher since they have a penalty if you aren't willing or can't complete an obstacle. Andy jumped on board about 6 weeks ago or so. It was fun to train together in the evening after the kids went to bed. We both liked the race and would do it again. we both failed some obstacles and had to do the 30 burpee penalty each time. I was proud that I finished 2 out of the 3 hanging obstacles because the upper body ones are the hardest for me. I came away knowing what I need to work on and motivated to keep trying. I need to get to wear I can do multiple pull ups in a row. It challenged us both and it was an accomplishment that we're excited about. We plan to do another one next year!!
