All I remember is the awesome sense of community, how much fun it was and how proud I am of my black WTM headband.

Hopes were high for the first Spartan Beast held at Snow Summit in Big Bear, California, literally. The 4,000 feet of elevation gain in 12.2 miles did not disappoint. Well, it actually did disappoint a few competitors, who suffered the elevation, dust and tricky technical terrain.
I purchased the obstacle guard padded arm sleeves for the obstacle course racing world championships in October 2017. Prior to that race, I had never worn arm protection and I will never make that mistake again!
