- I ran my first Spartan Race in August 2013 in Massachusetts. I was 24 yrs old and 224 lbs. I'm now 231 lbs as of today and my first race of 12 I've signed up for 2018 is on April 28th. By then, I hope to be 195 lbs. I'm excited to see how much better I'll do at <200 lbs vs. when I was 224 lbs. I couldn't climb the rope or traverse the monkey bars. I can't wait to finally complete those obstacles.
