Wintergreen Wonderings

We are two short days from our return to Wintergreen.  For those long time readers (both of you) this is where the whole journey started.  We were different people then.  For further proof just look at Exhibit A below:

Exhibit A

This return to the venue that started it all has brought back a number of flashbacks from the first visit.  This course still stands as the most brutal course we have ever taken on.  We are not alone in this feeling.  Anyone who took on the Wintergreen mudder talks about it in the same respect.  Many questions or Wintergreen Wonderings come to mind as the race nears.

• Will this race hold up to the original race?
• Will I be able to take more than ten steps at a time?
• Will the race come to a grinding halt as we run right into a hill?
• Will the Super Spartan contain as much fun and excitement as the Tough Mudder did?
• Will DC and I be able to hit the spear target in less than 20 tries?
• Will Pat T sprint even faster now that he has a timing chip on his leg?
• Will I spend the entire event telling people that I'm retiring from Wintergreen racing?
• Will the camelback sloshing become too much and cause an international incident on the course?

Pat and DC can certainly add additional wonderings.  I'm just excited to test myself on the course that started it all with the two people that got me mixed up in this life-changing experience in the first place.  Hopefully, we will capture some good footage and get an updated Wintergreen group shot for comparisons.  T minus 2 days!
