I think I'll join you

Awesome! I got another buddy of mine who wants to do it as well, but he doesn't know for sure if he is going to be here for sure until a couple months from now. So, I'll hold off on signing up for a bit before we get a for sure number of people. If we end up with four or more we can do a team sparkle motion spartan race... :)

I'll support and cheer for you guys, but more than likely that is Hammer week again, so depending upon what day our race is for the EMC, I won't be able to cheer or support in person, but I will make LOUD NOISES from the Lakebed all morning so that you can hear me!

Lol every little bit helps Alan. I'm already pretty positive I won't be able to make KOH next year, so I opted for this

Im sure I will be doing it again.

Started training this morning, man I'm out of shape.. lol Starting off with Monday/Wednesdays/Fridays and going to try for a hike at minimum every other weekend.

Funny. I'm sitting in a McDonalds and a guy walks by in a Spartan Tshirt. He looks like a personal trainer.
Avis, I considered joining your adventure but as I chowed down on my 3rd McDouble I realized something. I am built for speed, not endurance. I woud haul ass the first 1/4 mile, then fall down and need a long nap. :D

I move things bigger than you. I will just pick you up like a stone.
