    SoCal Spartan Weekend – A Study in Contrasts

    By |February 7th, 2016|

    Spartan Race kicked off its 2016 season in Southern California last weekend with back to back races at Vail Lake in Temecula. Immediately obvious on arriving at the venue was the distressing lack of water in the lake; with a drop of at least 10-15’ of depth since our last visit back in September, it was clear that the long California drought is far from over. This also left exposed a vast mud plain that was once the lake bottom and would play a role in the race.

(Take note, I have no direct link to any financials to Spartan or any other organization, this is my mind maths).

Speculation began immediately; is it just a cool triple (or quadruple, don't forget the bottom triangle) Trifecta holder?

                  By |December 11th, 2015|

                  The Spartan Race in Miami was the toughest race I've run since the race in Asheville...which was a Spartan Super in the mountains. That's particularly strange to say, considering how flat the Miami terrain is. But is wasn't the course itself that made it hard, it was the water! As much as 13 inches of rain in the days before the race!!
