This was the best weekend ever when it came to fitness!!! I volunteered and participated in the Spartan Sprint Charlotte, NC over the weekend.

What is a SPARTAN?

Technically a SPARTAN is a BAD AZZ!!! I am a BAD AZZ. I am SPARTAN!!! Aroo Aroo Aroo!!!

The Spartan Race is an obstacle course race that has different levels of difficulty. “Spartan’s shortest courses, the Sprint, are 3+ miles and 20+ obstacles. The Super is 8+ miles, 24+ obstacles, and often hosted on a tougher terrain.  The hardest of the three races is the Beast: 12+ miles and 30+ obstacles”.   If you complete each distance in a calendar year, you will earn a Trifecta.
