Spartan Sprint Indiana: First Impressions

Good evening OCR fans!  I'm writing from my desk, still recovering from the Spartan Race train in Haspin Acres that ran me over this past Saturday.

Ok, so it wasn't really a train...but it was the debut of Spartan Race's new Race Director/Course Designer, Todd Sedlak and let me tell you, Todd's inaugural race and course design at Haspin Acres did not disappoint!  Hats off to Todd for creating a course that was fresh, fun, and challenging. I'm looking forward to more of Todd's designs and challenges.

On Tuesday prior to the race, I decided to join the Corn Fed Spartan team, since my own team was decimated by pullouts due to injuries and people moving away.  If you're looking to get into OCR but not confident in your abilities or unsure if you can make it, this team will help build your courage and ensure you get through the race.  This is a great group of people, that has a family feel to it and I'll be sure to blog more about Corn Fed later as well.

I plan on ordering my jersey in the near future and joining them for other runs.    

But more on that in my race report to be filed in the next couple of days.

I should have my Part 2 of Gear for an OCR posted tonight.  I'm putting the finishing touches on it now, so look for it to post to my feeds rather shortly.

That's it for now.  I'll finish up my Part 2 and the Race Report and provide it shortly.

Too all my fellow racers that ran on Saturday, here's to a speedy recovery and whatever race is next (for many, it is the Spartan Military Sprint in Colorado on May 4-5.
