Spartan Race

I loved the atmosphere of the Death Race and the people there.  I loved the race organizers and their philosophy of wanting to push people to their limits while not coddling them like "other races" do to their participants.  I have spent over a week telling stories of our experience and how awesome Spartan Races is so what was left for me to do?  Sign up for a Spartan Sprint, of course!  And that is precisely what I did on Friday.  I guess you could say I put my money where my mouth is.  How could I rave about a group yet not participate in their madness?  I emailed Any Weinberg, one of the Death Race creators, and told him I was signing up.  He was excited and told me that Joe, the other creator, would give me a free entry.  Nah, I will pay for my first Spartan Sprint.  So, on October 15, 2011 I will drive to Marseilles, Illinois to compete in the 11 am wave of the race along with my favorite friend, Aimee (REGISTER NOW, AIMEE!)  I can't wait to be an official part of an awesome organization.

  1. Melissa,

    You and Patrick should join me doing the Indiana Tough Mudder Saturday Nov. 19th, 11 a.m. wave. It's at the Badlands Offroad Park in Attica, IN.
