Post 50k Spartan Ultra Race Analysis
The Goods And Bads
The Results are in.
I Finished The Race!
Based on the Official Stats, it was a 50k Race with 65 Obstacles.
Basically, they threw in 5 Obstacles “For Fun”.
If you know Spartan Races, they tend to throw in a “Lot” of “Fun” to their Races.
Though the “Official” Record does not show it, I’m certain they added Miles to this race as well, based on where the “Mile Markers” were.
They call these “Spartan Miles”.
Altogether to be expected.
So, how did I do?
Well…
I wasn’t as bad as 2 Years Ago!
So that was an Improvement.
2 Years Ago I nearly Quit, and I might have if it hadn’t been for the support of my Spouse and Family who were there.
During that Race, I hurt my Knee pretty early on.
For Three Quarters of the Race, I wanted to Stop.
The Good News is that this did not happen this Race!
Was I in Pain?
Absolutely!
Will I have trouble walking tomorrow?
