The Spartan Race I ran was a 5-kilometer obstacle course run through the countryside in Chiba Prefecture. The course had obstacles ranging from wall climbing, rope climbing, spear throwing, climbing under barbed wire, and jumping over fire – to name just a few!

It was very hot and the race organizers had plenty of water and sports drinks available for all participants. There were long lines at some obstacles, and if you did not complete an obstacle then you had to do 30 pushup style burpees. I completed 17 of the 20 obstacles, and did 30 burpees for the 3 obstacles that I did not finish. The burpees were hard!

I finished and was both exhausted and happy. I received a t-shirt and medal as a finisher. I was so happy to have a memento from the race. It was the hardest thing I ever did physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Quite the experience – I loved it!
