A small group of us decided that we wanted to run a Spartan race. The race consists of 8+ miles and 20+ obstacles. What we didn't realize is that since it was held at a ski resort in Virginia, was the race was up and down hill only.
Emily and Sam Deem, Mary and Terance Rhodes, Nate and I. See the smiles? That's because we have NO IDEA what lies ahead of us.
This is a course map. See all of those verticle lines? That is straight up the mountain. Many of them black diamonds and one of them is a mile long.
Here we are in good spirits because it is finally over.
This was probably the hardest thing I've done. Granted, I've never done something like this while pregnant (9 weeks, more on that later). Nathan was a huge help. He helped me over walls and through the burpees that I had to do. Nate completed all of the obstacles and never got penalized. He was amazing. It also helped us develop a friendship with the others in our group. That is one of the things that I love about running these races.
