Congratulation to all the Spartans. We had a busy week end here at the Fenton
Inn. It was a very lively and International
group. We had people from Sweden, Belgium,
England, Cuba and Mexico. Guests came
from different states as well, Georgia, Maryland, Colorado, Pennsylvania,
Washington DC and Virginia. Many who
raced at other Spartan Events placed the Wintergreen course as one of the most
challenging in the country, both with the steep terrain and number of
obstacles. Temperatures were good and
the rain held off for the race, but there was plenty of man-made mud on the
course.
One guest, after losing over 100 pounds in training, has now
completed the trifecta. Each medal comes
with a third part of a larger medal, that when joined make the circle in the
middle. He has inspired many others with
his story and Spartan Victor—y.
Ah, the bigger they are, the harder they crawl. Being 6.5 feet tall is not always an
advantage when crawling under the barb wire.
The rope climb was a tough one. Many people had to do the 30 burpees instead
on this one.
Raising a sand bag with the rope pull.
No matter how the race goes,
looking strong at the finish line makes it all seem easy.

Spartan medal back at the Fenton Inn.
Now, off to the hot tub!
