The first race of my season was a Spartan Sprint at Lake Elsinore. Easily the fastest, flattest course I've ever run. It was about 4.6 miles and 20 obstacles. My additional upperbody training really paid off. I didn't really struggle with any of the obstacles except the new 400 lb tire flip, and I did better on that than most. In fact I would say that is why I got third in masters. I was in 7th or 8th prior to the tire and the spear toss. I saw a ton of people doing burpees at those two obstacles and I nailed both, and pretty quickly. With less than a mile left there wasn't much chance for them to catch me unless I failed an obstacle, and I managed to run the course clean. Definitely one of my top 3 races.
