This weekend I will be running in the 2nd Annual Men’s Health Urbanathlon. Like last year, Sprad and I are running it together. Joy and her friend Cari also decided to make the voyage and will be competing as well. Danielle and KV will be also be coming along to offer their loyal support.
As for the race, they shortened it this year — only 8 miles as opposed to 9.91. They’ve also changed some of the obstacles, getting rid of the A frame (thankfully) and the stupid Rock Wall. The newer obstacles don’t look difficult and should be fun. The best decision they made, however, was moving the race to Saturday morning instead of Sunday morning. Why is that, you might ask? Now we can party all day and night Saturday!
While I’m in overall better shape this year then last year, I did not train nearly as much as I should have which should make for an interesting race. I’m really looking forward to the race and spending a fun weekend in NYC.
