🏔️ KILLINGTON. WE GAVE IT EVERYTHING WE HAD. 🏅
Last Saturday, the MJ Fitness Spartan Team took on one of the toughest and most challenging Spartan courses out there — the legendary Killington, Vermont.
9 MJ Fitness warriors stepped up to the starting line for the 21K Beast.
And ALL 9 CROSSED THE FINISH LINE. 💪🔥
As their coach, it’s hard to put into words how proud I am.
I’ve watched their entire journey leading up to this moment — months of training, early mornings, long workouts, sacrifices, sore bodies, setbacks, and the commitment to keep showing up.
You can’t buy that kind of experience. You have to EARN it.
And Killington made us earn every single mile.
Thousands and thousands of feet of leg-shredding climbs. Knee-crushing descents. Brutal terrain. Obstacles. Exhaustion. Hours and hours on that mountain.
Our warriors battled anywhere from 8.5 to 11.5 HOURS to earn that finish line.
But they ALL finished. 🏅
For me, I took on a different challenge — the 50K Spartan Ultra. This time, I didn’t finish.
I didn’t make it to the transition station before the cutoff and received a DNF.
No excuses. No regrets.
We all left everything we had on that mountain. There was nothing more to give.
Sometimes the biggest lessons don’t come from the medal around your neck. They come from pushing yourself to your absolute limit and finding out what you’re made of.
Saturday was an incredibly humbling experience for all of us.
We walked onto that mountain as one version of ourselves…
We walked away stronger, tougher, and better.
Congratulations to every one of our MJ Fitness Spartans. I’m beyond proud of you. You earned this one. 👊
Stay tuned for plenty of pictures and videos from an unforgettable day!
