Mississippi Spartan Sprint

This was by far the moment of my year...what I was waiting for! Completing this race would give me the Trifecta I was striving for all year! So, here it was...my lat "3 plus miles" year right...it was 4.97!! We did this crazy Sprint, 4.93 miles in 1:52:06! Check out that watch picture! This one was really tough! 


 Check out the map of the course! We did 6 obstacles in the first 0.5 miles! You can view our route here. We were ready, it was a bit cold, but no worries...they sprayed us with water right when we started and then made us stand there for a bit! Haha

 Even the little ones came! Khloe got to do her first Spartan today!!

We did everything like other races, but here...in MS...it is way more MUDDY!! We did the barbed wire crawl, log carry, wall climbs, inverted walls, Hercules hoist, wall crawl, sandbag carry, and lots of water! 


Tai and I were ready. Here we are with our Super and Beast medals...waiting to complete the circle! Below, here we are finishing the barbed wire crawl and jumping over the fire!




It felt so good to get that medal! But, our work was not yet done! We made it for the 12:30 slot for the kids, so Khloe and Gray did their Spartan too!




Check out my baby girls medal!!This was a great family affair! We got muddy, sore, and full of medals!!

 




The moment I was waiting for was this...the Trifecta! This made me a bit emotional, but it was worth the pain and endurance I withstood this year to get it! I encourage those who are unsure, or think this isn't for me. You can do anything you set your mind too. You mind can guide you, or beat you down! Don't be your own worst enemy! 



Here's to the next workout! Until then :)
