Spartacus

As previously stated, Mike ran in the Mid-Atlantic Super Spartan race last Saturday.  Somehow, Mike's friend John and the rest of the husbands from Traci's mom's group brainwashed him into signing up months ago, despite now paying for something he vowed he would never do again after experiencing similar courses when going through Quantico.  Anyway, it was a 10.5 mile race with 75+ obstacles interspersed, ranging from 8 ft. walls to scale, mudcrawls under barbed wire, rope climbs, sandbag carries through the woods, and a final dash through a ring with very large men armed with jousting sticks and taking swings at you.  It was EXHAUSTING!  But, the whole team finished between the two and three hour marks.  Not bad for the old guys...
