The Spartan Race

 Last Saturday Chad did the Spartan Race at Soldier Hollow. This is no ordinary race, it is 8+ miles of hills, heat and obstacles! I tried to get pictures of all the obstacles that I could see but there were so many more.

 Here's a nice group shot just before the race

 There's Chadwick smack dab in the middle getting all pumped to run for 8 miles

  There's Mr Spartan man

 And they're off...

 Here is one of the obstacles, they had to throw javelins into these hay bails if it didn't stick they had to do 30 burpees, Chad had to do the burpees

 Chad said he flew over this one no problem, which is good because I watched so many people get to the top and then slip and fall down, I just want to know how you get to be the guy with the hose, wait until they get to the top and then spray them down!

 This one was awesome, army crawl in the mud under barbed wire, Chad said it smelled like horse crap which it probably was

This was right after the army mud crawl jumping over the ring of fire

I missed the best part, Amanda and I walked back to the finish line so I could get a picture of Chad fighting the Spartans to cross the finish line, after 45 minutes I started to get worried, I watched as his friends came in one by one so Amanda and I decided to start looking around to see where he could be. Well it turns out he already finished, I totally missed the whole thing. Even though I missed it I couldn't be more proud of my Darling Chadwick, he ended up finishing 16th overall way to go Bambino!
