I ran the 5k spartan race this weekend.  Other than rolling my left ankle i the first 1/4 mile on the rocky downhill after the fire pit, I made it through relatively unscathed.  And, despite the soul-crushing hill repeats, i managed to run the whole time.  

Erin was able to get some photos proving that for a very short time (3 seconds?), i was leading our heat!  We happened to be put in the armed services heat, so i was quickly passed by people in really good shape.  I ended up finishing in a respectable tied for 252nd of 1997 racers  (top 13%).  A bunch of people from my company ran this thing, and i was beaten out by 6 of them.  If i had made a successful spear throw at the end, i think i could have given our VP a run for it at the finish line for 6th place, but i guess my spear throwing form needs some work.
