After a snowy winter in the northeast the Spartan Race team used the lingering snow to their advantage over the weekend at the Tri-State Beast. Course designer Norm Koch cooked up a Beast that will not be forgotten anytime soon. For the men Ryan Atkins continued his winning streak this season overcoming Chad Trammell and David McCarey. On the women's side Amelia Boone won her first Spartan Race of the year with Kate Cramer and Kerry McCole rounding out the women's podium. Atkins commented about the race,

Norm Koch really maximized the use of natural features at the Tri-State Beast on Saturday. Racers had to watch out for their ankles since there was lots of bushwhacking and technical terrain all over the course. As far as the obstacles goes, it was same old spartan, just toned down a little, with smaller weights, and smaller obstacles.

This left a few racers wanting more by the end. I finally managed to hit the spear throw, and ran a burpee free race. I was with Chad Trammel until the log hop obstacle, but when he fell off, I kept running, and was alone for the rest of the race. Finishing time for me on the 13.2 mile beast was 2:13, and I felt great, running through snow and mud for much of the race was a welcome challenge!”
