I started training for OCR (crazy but fun Obstacle races) this year as part of my weight loss mission. I did my first Sprint length race in August and it was fun but tough.
Well 4 weeks ago I tore my calf muscle (stupid in a rush and didn't stretch or warm up, getting old sux) It hurts like hell to run.

Well today I am competing in this.. http://www.spartanrace.com/index.html .. @ Fenway Park..
Biggest problem is going to be the 1000 steps with a 50# sand bag..... Ohhh man my legs are already begging for mercy...

Anyway I am pretty tough mentally but this calf tear add a a whole new level of suck that I am very nervous about.....



Wish me luck

If you are injured I would not suggest participating in a spartan race. They are harsh races, if you have done one before and know what you are getting yourself into then its all on you. However, I would not do it with a preexisting injury. I am suggesting that you do not compete and wait the proper healing time. There is always more spartan races, why risk permanent damage. I wish you the best of luck either way.
