Time to see what it's all about... SPARTAN RACE

For a long time now, I have been trying to decide whether I wanted to give one of the nationwide "obstacle races" a go. From the first YouTube video I saw covering one of these obstacle-laden, mud-filled events, I was intrigues, to say the least. But intrigue hasn't been enough to get me out on that course.

Until now.





A coworker of mine has clearly been bitten by the bug that loves the Spartan Race events, and he's a great evangelist for the upcoming sport. After hearing his stories of recent races that were run, I was excited more than I ever thought I would be. His passion for Spartan was intense, genuine and contagious.

He asked me to join him and some buddies on a team slated to run one of the Southeast regions Spartan Races.

I said "yep".
