Spartan Beast

Our dear friend AJ completed the Spartan Beast race today! He did such an awesome job, and it was so fun to go out to Heber to watch him accomplish the huge race. It is a 12 mile race, up and down hill while completing 25 tasks along the way. AJ had to climb walls, climb up ropes, pull up a tire on a rope and bring it back down from a bridge, he had to crawl through mud with barb wire, he had to shoot a target, throw a javelin, carry a 50lb. bucket of rocks up and down a hill for 1/4 of a mile! It was insane, but he kept such a good pace and finished strong. If a participant couldn't do a task, they had to do 30 burpies - jump up then jump down and go into push up position and jump back up. A lot of people were doing lots of burpies, but AJ didn't have to do one, meaning he completed all 25 tasks, which is appropriate because today was his 25th birthday! Here's a who-rah to AJ!
