Comments:
With all the changes to Spartan qualifying rules, I feel qualifying for WC is a legit challenge. The key to qualification is to do well in the NBC events (rolling top 10). Good performance in a minimum of 4 NBC events are necessary to get a final top 20 NBC ranking. Those events will be San Jose, Seattle, So Cal, and Utah.
I will also focus on a few Sprints which I feel I may have a podium opportunity (Sprints being where I perform best). Right now I have Vegas, Boise, and Seattle scheduled but would like to fit in one or two more. I am cutting my amount of races in half this year for my body’s sake as well as to focus on NBC and key Sprints.
My oldest child, Naomi, will be 13 this September. She is itching to race an “adult” Spartan race. I would like to help her prepare for her first Sprint.
I have other personal goals centered around family, spirituality, and work but felt that the above goals were most appropriate for this forum.
