53 Yr old male, previously very active, retired from military four years ago after 30 years service. Work out regularly but it is hard to stay motivated without a goal so I am now preparing for my first Spartan Sprint in Oct 2017. I will also look to reduce fat while maintaining or gaining muscle mass. I hope to finish above average in my first sprint and look to improve from there. Interested in others stories about their first adventure race (ie, Spartan, mud run, etc)and experience.
