Big Bear Spartan Beast COMPLETE
I made a goal 1 year ago that I would complete the Big Bear Spartan Race. Never did one before but I had always wanted to do one. One of those bucket list items.
Going through a life transformation coaching program helped keep my word to myself. I feel so proud of myself and my friends who did this with me. Plus mad respect for those who do this ALL the time. True beasts out there.
We ran up all the skii slopes of snow summit and bear mountain. I trained but did not expect how difficult these hills were going to be.
First quarter of mile - me: "oh this is going to be alright, it's just a little incline"
turns a corner and sees the biggest hill in my life and everyone hiking up it (no more running)
me: "oh well s**t... this it's how it's going to go for the next 13 miles fan freaking tastic..."
