Spartan Sprint

11/02/13 - Spartan Sprint (3+ miles and 15+ obstacles), Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Time: 51:02
Overall: 257th/3273
Age Group: 49th

The view from the spectators seats overlooking the finish line.

I had a blast! The obstacles were challenging, but it seemed more like a workout than a race.  I think the Urban Warrior Dash was a little harder, but the Spartan Sprint in the Milwaukee stadium was pretty cool. The obstacles started with bear crawls and high knees up 3 or 4 flights of ramps followed by 30 overhead ball slams with a 25-pounder. Lots of walls to hurdle, ranging in height from 4 - 8 feet. There were several types of carrying obstacles, (sandbags, water jugs, cement blocks). I thought the weights could have been a bit more challenging.  I loved the Concept 2 rower obstacle of 500 meters under 2 minutes. It was tough because you couldn't see your pace or the time, you could only see your meters. If you failed, you had to do 30 burpees, which was the penalty for any failed obstacle. There was a Hercules Hoist where you had to hoist a cement block up about 25 feet, jump rope with a heavy rope, box jumps, cargo net and a rope climb, as well as countless stairs climbs up and down the stadium bleachers.

My back was tight this morning when I woke up. Stretched before and after, but got even tighter after the workout. Doesn't help that I have been sitting in a chair the last few days. Plan on using the wobble disc to loosen it up tonight.
