2017 Citi Field Spartan Sprint

  Race: 2017 Citi Field Sprint May 13th, 2017 Time: TBD Place TBD Pre-Race Conditions: Race season starting out with a Stadium sprint. Last year I placed 37 th overall at this event with one penalty at the spearman at this race. Weather was a bit chilly but clear. This year looks like rain. Not sure how that will affect the monkey bars or all the stairs, I’m expecting it to be the equivalent of a slip ‘n’ slide. My plan is to just do what I have to do to move efficiently safe and fast. I don’t think there is any specific prerace prep I can do for the rain besides to just grind through it. I’m not sure I’m completely ready for this race. My running and cardio are amazing compared to where I was last year at this time. On a flat road run I feel easily 30sec/mile faster than last year and can hold that pace for a while. Strength wise the last 2 weeks had been hard to work on grip and skill. Some spear throws in the backyard over the last few days will hopefully help. Slightly worried...
