Title: Beat the Berch, Become a Spartan, and other hopefulness!
Post by: Thorsteinn on 2015-03-28, 00:50:02
Day 1 of 192.

We're training to take on the Lake Tahoe Spartan Sprint (http://www.spartan.com/events/?event_id=595/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.

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.

^ the story of his video is pretty neat too.

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

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

Pretty neat. :)
