Spartan race in Montana, finals week and big changes!
  



            I finally got back home from western Montana where I ran the Bigfork, Montana Spartan beast. The race was the first of the Spartan mountain series. The race was 13 miles with over 30 obstacles and was no easy task! I ran the race in about 4 hours and 30 minutes. I can safely say that the #SpartanMontana pushed me to my limits. About 8 miles into the race I started experiencing crazy leg cramps from all the uphill running. I don’t think I took care to hydrate properly before the race. I am psyched for the next one, because I am ready to improve on this years’ time.

            The drive to the race itself was no easy task either. I began the long trek from Fargo, North Dakota to Kalispell, Montana at around 2:00pm on Thursday, the 3rd. I picked up my cousin and we drove all through the night until about 6am. Once we were finally in our hotel room, we crashed and slept until around noon that day. When we finally did awake, I still had to complete a big finance project. I am thankful though, I planned carefully enough to save enough time for my homework and do the race, like I did last year.
            I learned from one of the locals that had a business booth set up at the race that there were over 7,000 participants this year at the Montana Spartan race. It’s such an amazing experience to be surrounded by such motivated, and physically fit people. Everyone has such a positive attitude, and the friends you meet at events like a Spartan race are forever.

            I am back at home now, and completed my first final exam of the week just a bit earlier. I feel very confident in how the exam went. I also took some time to update my Linkedin profile. I listed all of the classes I have taken thus far at North Dakota State University.
            Still taking a bit of a break from the gym, but if I find time in between finals this week I plan to get some brief workouts in before the semester is finally over.
            I won’t explain my plans here, but I am excited for what the future has in store, I’m making big changes starting this summer and am excited to see where my path takes me.

North Dakota may be considered a fly-over state, but is the title deserved? Let’s find out. Great small Business environment. North Dakota has a booming small business environment. Fargo, North Dakota is routinely voted as  one of the best places to start a business  by Forbes.com. While much of the economic success can be attributed to the Bakken shale formation in the western portion of the state, there are areas in North Dakota such as Fargo that are proving the state is more than just a frack zone. Businesses in the down town areas of the more populous cities of North Dakota including Bismarck, Fargo, Minot, and Grand Forks are all boasting great success as these areas are renovated and brought back to life. Fargo, thanks to companies like the  Kilbourne Group , has undergone a major revitalization, and business in the downtown area has been booming.

Bryce Boepple Journal – 5/1/2018

Bryce Boepple Journal – 5/1/2018             I had a great weekend going back home to Killdeer, North Dakota from Fargo this weekend. I saw my family and my dog, as well as many people from town. I went hiking, and in total I probably covered over 7 miles. Hopefully the hiking will prepare my joints and muscles for my upcoming Spartan race that is only 5 days away. While hiking, a massive thunderstorm ended up rolling through and I had to book it out of the badlands quickly before being overtaken by the storm. I took shelter under a rock that jutted out of a butte until the rain calmed down and the intense lightning passed. The hiking trip was a crazy, survivor-esque experience that time around. Hiking in the Badlands by Medora, North Dakota The Spartan Race will take place in Glacier Park, Montana, around the Whitefish/Kalispell area. I am still super excited, albeit a bit anxious. I do not think I am as prepared for the race as I was last year. Despite not being as prepared
