Spartan Race July 2012

 A few images from the Spartan Race held at Bassinbourn Barracks. A very large number of people took part  in the event (over 2000 I believe though didn't count) They had various challenges to do over a 6km course. With Phil, Lionel and Gary, I was to photograph the Cambridge Rugby football teams but this proved quite tricky as the Puma on their shirts was sometimes only visible as they passed. I reckoned the Swamp Swim would be the best place to get them individually but this was abandonned after the first heat as three poeple (including the one above) required rescuing from the  'elite' athletes. In the end I stationed myself at the River Walk which was full of very smelly mud but managed to pick out most of the players, Caught up with them again at the end when they were jumping the fire logs.
