| Tri-State Spartan Super Race, Vernon, NJ |
Just some of the reasons why I love obstacle course racing (in no particular order):
- In a matter of hours, complete strangers become friends, helping each other over, under and through obstacles.
- You hear comments like this after someone cuts herself on barbed wire: "You just need 6 beers, some duct tape and a Percocet."
- You keep putting one foot in front of another and before you know it, you're on top of a mountain, looking down at the most amazing view.
- You get to look at gorgeous, athletic men (and women) throughout the day.
- The adrenaline high you get is legal in every state and lasts for hours!
- You can help another runner on the course ease his cramping muscles with nothing more than a smile and a packet of mustard.
- You get to escape from everything that's bothering you for several hours, because your mind needs to be laser-focused on nothing but overcoming the obstacles in front of you.
- You reach a state of mental clarity, where you feel like you are invincible.
- You become mentally and physically stronger, more so than you ever thought was possible.
- Did I mention the ADRENALINE RUSH?
