I did my third mud run and had a blast.  The Spartan Race is a 5K obstacle course that challenges your physical and mental strength.  I wouldn’t have made it through without the awesome Steel Barbells team.

I regularly workout but I knew I had to step the gym routine up to prepare for Spartan. Michael Lopez put me through rigorous training of cardio and cross-fit like workouts.  I was in the best shape of my life!!!

The 2013 Spartan Race really challenged me.  I almost broke down and quit on the never-ending uphill barbed wire crawl through mud.  This year it was my mission to tackle this obstacle with ease. Completing the muddy crawl unscathed without a scratch or downhill slide in record time was definitely a shining moment for me.

Each year I conquer an obstacle I never thought imaginable.  Last year it was the monkey bars.  This year it was the rope climb wall.  After watching others unsuccessfully get steps up the incline only to falter I wasn’t sure how I’d do it, BUT I DID and it felt great!!!

I enjoy pushing myself and the camaraderie of the Steel Barbells crew and other Spartans help make it a memorable experience.  Looking forward to next year and earning my Trifecta medal. AROO!!!
