I am a SPARTAN!!!! Aroo Aroo Aroo

Well I survived.  It wasn't pretty, and it was way too damn hot, but I struggled through and I made it.  My final time was 3:05 and change, which given the heat I am ok with.  Today I am significantly more sore than I was yesterday but most of the pain is more stiffness than anything else.
I survived the barbed wire, but the rocks we were crawling/rolling over tore my knees up so I have some beautiful cuts and bruises from that, but no cuts from the actual barbed wire, which is a bit disappointing.

Now to decide how I feel about the idea of putting myself through this torture every again....

Not at all ready

I am so not ready for Saturday.   They posted the map and I am counting on burpees for the monkey bars, multi rig, and twister, since I can't do monkey bars to save my life.   I also realized last night I have never even attempted a rope climb, so there is that.   Other than those 4 I believe I will be able to muscle my way/get help to complete the other 18.

Wish me luck! :)

OMG 9 Days!!!!

I'm moderately freaking out.   I don't feel like I'm ready but I have faith that I will be able to finish and not die.   Last weekend I over did it and ended up with a migraine from the heat/dehydration so I've been taking it a little easier this week.   I've still been doing my burpees and am going to continue my training schedule next week but more importantly I have plans to up my hydration.  I'm going to add 1 extra Advocare Rehydrate to my day starting Sunday (or more if I feel like it) and I'm going to up my general H20 intake, wether with rehydrate or just straight water by 20-40 ounces through Wednesday and doubling my normal intake on Thursday and Friday.
I'm SOOOOOOO excited :) Wish me luck.
