This Is Sparta

So, as some of you know, I’ve been really involved lately with training for the SoCal Super Spartan Race that just passed.  It was the first race of the year, held in Temecula, California, and it was incredible.  The weather was perfect, ranging around the steady mid-upper 70s, without a cloud in sight.  The dry desert wasn’t too bad because of the nice, cool breeze that came across the hilltops.
My friends, Markus (#2758) and Jeffery (#2421) competed with me.  This was my first race but they compete fairly regularly between any Spartan events and Tough Mudder events. 
Markus was a beast and ended up placing 19th overall, in the entire race, with a time around 1 hour and 55 minutes.  I had placed 13th overall in my age division (24-29) and around 80th overall in the race, which had over 2000 people, with a time around 2 hours and 6 minutes.  Shows how tight the race was!  With only an 11 minute difference, Markus killed me in placement.  
Jeffery was having trouble from the beginning, having not trained as much as he would have liked and feeling off from the start.  He crossed the line later than we did, but he was still a Spartan, finishing with the rest of the crowd.
The training for my race really opened my eyes and made me realize how much I love exercising and working towards a goal, like a race.  I’ve made it my 2012 goal to enter and compete in as many Spartan, or of the sort, races this year, that I can.  My goal from these experiences will be gaining the knowledge, experience and strength to compete in the 2013 Spartan Death Race and the World’s Toughest Mudder, possibly sneaking the Scotland Coast-To-Coast in there, if I can!
Wish me luck, because 2012 will be my best year yet.

Best,
Bobby

I finally joined the iPhone revolution and fell in love with the Instragram app.  You can follow my photos and my twitter at @thisfellow.
