For anyone interested... the Spartan Race (Beast) is June 28 at Soldier Hollow.
My team just registered for this years race. 10-12 miles of race course, hill climbs, and obstacles... Come get muddy and have some fun while working out.
Still six months to go and the race registration is half full already... This is hard work, but it is fun.

The Reebok Spartan Race series holds races year-round in locations across North America, Great Britain, Australia, Mexico and Slovenia. There are three race distances that the series contests: the Spartan Sprint, a 3-mile long course with 15 or more obstacles; the Super Spartan, an 8-mile course with 20 or more obstacles; and the Spartan Beast, which is roughly 12 miles with 25 or more obstacles.
"Our goal is to empower people to do things they normally wouldn't do," said Mike Morris, Spartan Race's vice president of production. "We want to provide a medium to rip people off their couches and give people motivation to do better things."
Saturday's race at Soldier Hollow in Midway was a Spartan Beast, with racers traversing a course that weaved up and down 12 miles of mountains, with 28 obstacles scattered throughout. Obstacles ranged from swimming through mud, carrying buckets of rocks up and down a hill, and throwing a javelin an homage to the Greek warriors after which the race is named.
