These haunting words linger in my mind in the aftermath of one of the toughest and most interesting events I've participated in; the 60h Spartan Agoge Class 002 which took place this weekend in Pittsfield, Vermont.

One interesting photo emerged on social media last Saturday, a 4-sided triangular "delta" with what appeared to be Spartan Race Trifecta medal holders on 3 of the visible sides. Speculation began immediately; is it just a cool triple (or quadruple, don't forget the bottom triangle) Trifecta holder?
