Running Accomplishments:

-I'm an avid runner and crossfitter turned obstacle racer.  This year has brought on new and unexpected opportunities racing in Spartan races.  I'm in love with this new challenging part of my life.

Here is what I've come away with so far

1st - Socal Super Spartan 2013

1st - Texas Sprint Spartan2013

2nd- Las Vegas Super Spartan 2013

3rd - Arizona Sprint Spartan 2013

3rd - Atlas Obstacle Race 2013

5th - Spartan World Championships 2013

 

Future Races

October?? maybe Sacramento Beast Spartan

December - Texas Beast

 

 

Short-Term Running Goals:

I am working to become the best obstacle  racer I can be.  If that goes hand in hand with a National Championship title, than I will have met 2 of my goals/dreams.

 

Long-Term Running Goals:

Another sub 3 hour marathon

Sub 1:20 half marathon

I want to complete an ironman and some ultra races.

I Hope to be running until I'm 100.

 

Personal:

I have 2 boys (7 and 4) and a little girl (14 months) that keep me on my toes and make life worth living..  I've been married to my better half (Jim clark) for 10 years.  I teach fitness classes and am a personal trainer - my 2nd love is Zumba!  I love what i do!

I hold Obstacle Training Groups at my house on saturdays -I feel so blessed to be able to help others.

This is a small race that we do every year, and are awarded with a t-shirt, pie, and a pre-feast calorie burn.  I wanted to keep up with Tom, but had no idea how I'd do as I hadn't done a non spartan race for a year now.

I felt good starting out, but soon felt the previous days crossfit workout in my legs on the hills.  This is an offroad trail race that is filled with rock hurdling and ankle turning terrain.  and sand!  I had a pretty fast heart rate going by the first mile.  Then 2 guys passed me through the canyon (dang guys with their longs legs).  I kept with them through the rest of the race, but lost them again as hit the canyon one more time.  I finished a minute behind Tom, and was a little bummed with my performance against the guys - oh well. 

Jim had ran with the boys through the mile course, so I went out with him for his 3.5 mile lap.  Gave myself 8 for the day.

Apparently there was no crossfit when I showed up, so I had to push myself through a workout.  My crappy eating from Thanksgiving caught up to me as I felt like puking throughout the run.

4 rounds for time

15 Powerclean - 85#

15  hand release Push ups -

15 knee to elbow

12 miles - but not easy.  I did the first 6 up toquerville falls road (a serious climb) with my weight vest (still just 5 lbs).  Average pace for the entire thing was 8:01, but my miles up the hill were in the 9s and 10s.  So the rest of my run brought the pace way down. 

I practiced my 8 ft wall - and I'm nailing it now!!!!  This has plagued me in my last few races, and I have it now.  I've figured out how to run and use the helper block for momentum (I always stopped before). 

Practiced our pretty tricky log hop and am getting that too:)
