Spartan Sprint Orono 2023

 Yesterday, I completed Spartan Sprint in Orono.

As expected, I failed obstacles that I never conquered before.  I forgot how many burpees you are suppose to do with each fail, so I am not sure if I completed all burpees and there was no one in sight to remind me how many burpees you are suppose to do.  This year, a lot less people were doing burpees.  In the past, i remember always burpeeing with others.

It's my first year running with a 12:15 start time.  There were a lot less people waiting at the starting line and a bunch of people starting running before 12:15 so I am assuming those are the people who were late for their start time.  I was surpised that you have to do a crawl to reach the starting line this year.  I was also surprised that my shoes were muddy before the pre-start wall.  I am hoping they will never place the rope climb before the start line.

I enjoyed my journey to the finish line very much.  I was at a good pace. I took my sweet time. I did not spend/waste much time waiting for my turn at each obstacle.  Overall it was smooth sailing.
