Spartan Race

As most of you know Team MBG had a great time at the Spartan Race last weekend. What made it so great? We did a race that absolutely challenged each and every one of us both mentally and physically. It is in many ways a test to evaluate how you live your life. Is your training and nutrition adequate enough to enable you to survive? Is it advanced enough to let you strive? Will you give in and take the easy way out or push yourself outside of your comfort zone (Cliff Jump)? All of these questions can be answered in the time it takes you to complete this race. Sixteen MBG'ers started the race and 16 finished. I was very proud of all of them. Proud because each and every one overcame something to complete this race. A past injury, fear, not bowing out and remaining committed to their training. To me it shows how effective our training actually is. I already know how tough you all are because I see it in every workout you do. This race allowed you to apply it to a real world scenario and see it for yourselves! Let's not let this be the highlight but only the beginning on which we build. Never stop challenging yourself. We had a great summer together and I look forward to seeing what this next year will bring.
