I signed up for my first race ever – since high school! Mallory convinced us all to do a girls weekend and run a Spartan Race with her! We flew into LA on Thursday night. We had a fun relaxing Friday with Shopping and food…

And Saturday was Race Day! Mal, Shannon, Kelsey and I signed up for the 13 mile 30 obstacle BEAST so we left early and were out there for HOURS. Christy and Shae, Megan, Tracie and Jleigh did the 3 mile sprint.

PREGAME:

Most of the pics are not of me but I did do the obstacles- Mal and Shannon did really well. Kelsey and I did pretty good but some of the obstacles we couldn’t do because of height and weight and strength and all the other excuses – I was just proud to finish!

I think it took us about 6 hours! We started a little after 9am and got done around 3:00. The Sprinters had time to get cleaned up and come back to us! Kelsey almost dies of hunger at one point – she was hangry and tired and luckily a fellow racer gave us food and we survived! The down hill was crazy. The mud at the end was just for show. My toe nails are still (5 months later) discolored and ugly.

Saturday Race day we ate at the one local diner. Then on Sunday we did church on TV and played until it was time to head home. We flew into SLC at 8pm.
