Spartan Race Pics

So, hopefully these are in some sort of order, here are some pics from the Spartan Race that I thoughtfully yanked from the site where they post these.  I have probably missed several of folks that I know, but these are the ones I saw at first glance.  Handy that we were wearing those red shirts, they stand out well in the thumbnails.

Needless to say that running up and down Edelweiss three times made this thing hard, but having most of the obstacles all at the end of the race was a bit silly.  Spreading them out more would have been a lot more fun.  I guess it was a problem with the available space they had.

The iced water pool was a nice touch….

The fire jump was neat, and not as scary as it sounds.  The brief warmth was very welcome that day.

I look like I’m levitating here.

This montage made me laugh, watch Wilson trying to find any enthusiasm for the rest of this race, anywhere.  There’s nothing, just nothing.

Ya, just jump, monkey boy.  Still contemplating.  There may not be any fucks left.

Ot2FJ2482-XL

Ya, there’s probably at least one fuck there somewhere, if only because it’s near the end of the race.  Sorry to poke fun buddy….  🙂

Not many pics I could find of this ramp thing, but the mud is everywhere, even on the camera lens…..

And finally the finish line, none of us look all that happy at this point…..

So there you go, a partial documentation of the day.  It was fun, cold, and oh so dirty.  I probably won’t do it again and just stick to road races for now, but I am glad I did it.
