Spartan 2023 - Part 2
Today, Sunday, January 29, 2023, continued my two-race Spartan weekend in San Bernardino, CA. Today’s race was the 5k Sprint, the shortest of the Spartan races. For reference, the color red is often associated with Sprint races and the medal.
After completing the Super yesterday, I thought walking into the Sprint was going to be a piece of cake. I was wrong, and mother nature had it in for that assumption. Yesterday’s race was sunny, warm, and the terrain was dry. The clouds stayed during the race, we never went above 48 degrees, and it was wet. Not raining (yet, it did on the walk out), but it was definitely wetter and felt like it. The obstacles had more mud tracks, the ground was muddier, and it made for a very different experience. It was more challenging. That said, I still recorded a personal best and felt fantastic about ending the first month of 2023 with two races under my belt.
See you again soon Spartans!
