We completed our 1st of 6 Spartan Races for our Double Trifecta this past weekend. The Spartan Ohio Beast. We pushed ourselves and completed in less time than we did our last Beast race, but in a little more time than my solo Beast.
We encountered new obstacles like the Bender which was challenging and fun at the same time. We did our part helping other Spartans just as on one or two obstacles we received assists in completing a few. That is one of the things I love about running Spartan Races, the camaraderie and support of other Spartans. We all cheer each other on and want each other to finish the race.

- Difficult after all of the hills and mud. Calves cramp big time.
