Salt Lake Spartan

I actually have a a very close friend that is a Spartan. She goes all over the southwest to do them. Idaho, Cali, AZ, UT. She probably knows you. There is a FB page for Spartan runners.
 
This is my first race. A buddy of mine talked me into it. He owns the studio gym I work out in. He's run 4-5. If I find one in October that's easy to travel to I'll likely do it. The Beast scares me a little. 20+ miles of running. :eek: I can handle 6-8...

Not to mention the obsticles every mile... those races are brutal.
 
Looks like its only 12-14 miles for the Utah one. I ran the tough mudder a couple time that is the same length. I didnt like being shocked but the rest was pretty fun. I liked that they gave me a beer at the end and since it was Utah half the people didnt want their beer so I got extras! My training for tough mudder was a couple 2-3 miles jogs a week or two before. I was fine, its not as hard as people make it out to be.

There's a penalty for every failed obstacle of 30 burpees.

Hahaha yup. She is on that page as well, so is my 17 year old. They have been running around taking pics of themselves doing burpees in random places.
 
I thought about volunteering for it last year, but they only wanted people to build the course for them and so I said no.

Considering my main goal was to finish; 3:21. That's hours btw... Haha! It's was intense as hell! I'm in pretty decent shape but it was grueling. The sick thing is, there were guys that finished in just over an hour.
