The Spartan Race

Dear Readers:

I just watched a short video on the Spartan Race. If you are a student of history you will remember the Athenians and the Spartans from ancient Greece. Both societies were similar in their form of government but there was a major difference between their values and how they lived their lives.  The Athenians focused on the creative side of existence while the Spartans held to obedience and war.  Both paths were instrumental in shaping the lives of the nation of Greece.

Here however, I wanted to share some pictures of a modern day Spartan, your own Rocky Ribacoff.  I am trying not to gush too much about this young woman and her athletic prowess but it might prove difficult over the coming weeks and months.  Suffice it to say take a look at these two images of “The Rock” in the Spartan Race of which there are 50 held each year around the country.  Some of the details you can glean from the short video bellow.  Rocky will be taking a well-deserved vacation to a far corner of the world with her beloved family.  Don’t lament too much however,   she’ll be back in 10 days counting from Sunday to kick our butts in her usual venues.
