Spartan Sprint

The first weekend in December I did one of the craziest things that  I've ever done. I got up at 5:00am to head to Malibu with some of my cross fit friends for a Spartan Sprint race! Here we are after arriving in Malibu unpacking the car.
Riding the bus to the starting like, it was 38 degrees!
Walking to the venue.
Gabe, Chris, and I cross fit friends ready for the race!
The 3 of us girls were all first time Spartan racers!
Tara, Micel, Gabe, and Chris- Crossfit born with it friends!
Our group ready for the race to start!
Sporting my spartan head band ready for the race.
It was pouring rain and there was water and mid everywhere!
The map of the course!
Our group trying to keep warm before the race started. 
One of the obstacles…..crawling under barbed wire for what seemed like forever, and then another stretch of barbed wire.
Hoping with a band around my legs.
Probably one of the toughest obstacles was going through this water…right near the shore I froze I was so cold I couldn't move, the guy behind me helped shove me to the shore (that's me in the front).
Pulling a 90 lb block up to the top and slowly lowering it down, here I am helping one of my team mates pull her block up.
Scaling the wood!
After jumping over the fire, Running to the finish line!
Part of our group after finishing the race, cold, wet, but happy!
Me after finishing the race!
Of course the sky's cleared and sun came out after we finished.
Me with my medal after changing and warming up. 

Our group after finishing the race!
I am Spartan!
My bruised and scratched up legs after the race…this picture doesn't do it justice, but I felt pretty hardcore for finishing the race strong!
