Friday after school we flew North to Chiang Mai for the Spartan Race. We landed about the same time as the tail end of typhoon Ragasa. At 3:30am they posted that they were unsure if the race would go ahead. Saturday morning was my race day and when we arrived it was chaotic. One of the races had been cancelled and they were trying to register people in other ones. People come from all over the world and I could see some disappointed faces. The queue to check in took an hour (usually 5 minutes) and when I finally got to the front I had two minutes until start time. The theme of the day was mud. And so much of it but it went ahead. It was ridiculously hard. I would be running through the forrest and then all of a sudden be knee deep in mud. It is a 5km run plus 20 obstacles. And these are not easy by any means, the rain and mud made it 100 times harder. But I finished, cursing myself and my decision to run the entire time. And then was super happy. I came first in my age group and 9th out of just under 300 women.
