On June 29th, Sheldon completed the Spartan Beast, which is a half marathon with over 25 obstacles. Because a half marathon isn't hard enough, they had to add in some obstacles! Sheldon trained very hard for this race, as most of the obstacles take a lot of upper body strength. Some of the obstacles were rope climbs, dragging tires, dragging sandbags, throwing a javelin, a rock wall, and the final obstacle was rolling under barbed wire in the mud for several hundred yards. Sounds like so much fun, right? Sheldon actually said it was a lot more fun than a regular race, but it sounds a little questionable to me. He is trying to convince me to participate in the race next year because it's only eight miles.
Sheldon's clean, before the race photo. Finn was there too, just parked in his stroller off to the side.
It was a really hot day, but the kids did really well waiting for Sheldon at the finish line. Thank you ipad! I didn't get any good pictures of Sheldon crossing the finish line, because we were waiting a little bit away from the line in some shade and when everyone is covered in mud they all look the same. So I didn't spot him until he was right at the finish line.
Sheldon all muddy and finished with a great time! Halle was a little nervous to see him so muddy.
So proud of you Sheldon, way to go!
