Jess was such a hotshot and competed in the Spartan Run in Soldier's Hollow. The race is 8 miles long with multiple obstacle courses mixed in. He had never really run in any competitive race before this one, so he trained for a few weeks. Despite all the training, he said that nothing could have prepared him for it. The race started at 10:30 and he came into the finish line in between 12:30 and 1pm. Jess's parents and Laura came and I'm so grateful they did because I was able to get some fun pics while they were playing with Crew. It was such a hot day, we both got such bad sunburns bc I forgot the sunscreen (what's up with that, nurse Lacy?) Luckily, Crew had a hat and was underneath an umbrella pretty much the whole time so he escaped the rays. We were so proud of Jess when he crossed! Go, Babe!
Jess ran with some friends from work: (Left-->Right) Hunter Smith, Mark Stokes, Jess, Tyson Croft.
Getting ready...
It was hhhhooooooottt!
Jess crawling under the barbed wire. Some of the other obstacles were: rope climbing, spear throwing, rubix cube, running through mud, running through fire, etc...if you were unable to complete the obstacle you had to do 30 burpees.
Just ran through the mud pit.
Finished!
The crew after the race. The two on the ends finished ridiculously fast, so they already washed off when the others finished.
All clean: Hunter Smith, Jess, Cassadi Dente.
