BattleFrog Championship 2015 – A Flat Course Can Be Tough – Race Review

I love a challenging course!!  I was fortunate to have an opportunity to go on a course preview Friday evening before the race with Mud Run Guide.  Normally, I like to run a race without having much more than an idea how long the course is certainly not the detailed location of obstacles!  But when you have a chance to do something like this at a championship...you do it.
