SPARTAN RACE

So if you look a few posts back, you will see one talking about the Spartan Race Jake participated in in Malibu. The one in Malibu was a 3 mile run involving trail running, obstacles, hills, and lots of MUD!

The race we did yesterday was an 8 mile run. YIKES! Not something I would want to do!

Here are Jake and his brother Seth before the race. After the race was done, they both proclaimed that they would NEVER do that again! haha. Jake was on the course for nearly 2 1/2 hours. That is a LONG time to be doing all the torture obstacles!


We entered the kids into the Childrens race. A 1/4 mile run with balance beams, crawling in nets, climbing mini walls, and of course climbing through a mud trench!

This is Faith and Sam at completion. Faith is all mud arms down from tripping in the mud trench..so she is rather upset and ready to change!

Ahh, all better now that we are cleaned up!

We were running behind and actully missed the kids race. But the people were so great and the kids ran the course all by themselves. Because of this, Nate was able to participate! The competition is ages 5 and up, so if the kids made their race, Nate would have had to just watch. So this was a super huge blessing because Nate wanted to race so so badly!

Here he is at completion. He was not bothered by the mud. Typical to Nate's nature, he dove right into the mud and loved it!

So I think for now we are done with the Spartan Race. We may do another 3 mile course next year, but for now, Jake and Seth are letting their bodies recover!
