Spartan Race: Edmonton Sprint June 25, 2016

I was racing in the competitive heat which was 15 minutes after the elite heat. The day started with lots of rain. When our heat started all the obstacles were already covered in mud. Half of the race felt like we carried cement blocks on our feet! I was doing pretty good until we came to the traverse wall. I took my time doing this obstacle because it was really muddy as i see everyone was doing burpees. I made across all the walls and then went for the bell and didn't hit it! That was probably the saddest moment during the race for me. I ended up doing 120 burpees that day, not really pushing myself as hard as i could, and running with some friends instead of competing like i should have been. The bucket carry was also shocking. I was filling my bucket to the top with dirt and mud, and while walking uphill I could see everyone's buckets as they were coming downhill. I could not see anyones dirt :( Overall the course layout was great, it did feel like a sprint. My Suunto watch recorded 5.2km. Onto the next race which is near Toronto. :)
