Day 1 of 192.

We're training to take on the Lake Tahoe Spartan Sprint on October 4th. Look at that vertical gain of 2,850ft from a 6,200ft base. We're probably running up one of the ski slopes at Squaw Valley, CA.

Sean & Tama hiking a mountain. Training for the Lake Tahoe Spartan Sprint.

Who wants to join us & get some glory?! We're in as Team Karp. We need 2 more folks to be a ranked team. And no you don't have to stay with us slow pokes if you want to run past.

I'm thinking of wearing the Order Patch somewhere on my kit.

It was his own "50/50/50 challenge"

50 minutes of cardio, in
50 pounds of armor, on his
50th birthday

Pretty neat. :)
