aroo, aroo

Here's the photo recap form the Spartan Race in Tuxedo Ridge from last weekend. It was 90 degrees, humid, and early on a Saturday. It was miserable, but we finished. I wondered why I signed up for it multiple times before, during, and after. But nothing feels better than finishing, and getting 70th in your age-group! James wore a GoPro, so I'm assuming there will eventually be an embarrassing video to accompany over 500 embarrassing pictures from the event. I've spared you with a cool dozen...  

the "before" shot...

james and mom simultaneously climb up the ropes (in green)

exactly where some training would have been put into good use

so   fucking   spent

a pretty good single-shot wrap up of how i felt the race went

barbed wire & mudd. james & the go-pro. 

hot mud and rocks on a ninety-degree day

casually crossing the finish line. give me the medal. 

mom's face says it all... 

all of our faces say it all. the "after" photo. so glad that's over. 

Hope you got a good laugh! Have you ever done one of these obstacle-course races?
