So my second Spartan race of the season did not go as well as the first. It was a fast, but wet/rainy course 5+ miles with 23 obstacles. I felt and ran reasonably well, but failed 2 obstacles, the monkey bars and the Cliff Multi-bar. Because it was wet I over thought the monkey bars instead of attacking them the way I should, spent too much time on them and slipped. I probably would have failed the multi-bar either way, but the rain didn't help. The biggest problem was that I got sick on a GU pack around mile 3. I had hoped to place top 10 in the Masters division of this very competitive field, and ended up 23rd. My minimum goal was to get 180 pts and I think I got 177. So over all pretty disappointed, but already training hard and feeling much better about the upcoming Vegas Super.
