My first Spartan Death Race

(yes, there will be a second)
In 2025, I finally took on the ultimate test of grit and endurance: the Spartan Death Race.
Friends and fellow racers keep asking me: “How was it?” “Did you finish?” “What makes you want to do that to yourself?”
Rather than repeating fragments of the story, I decided to write it all down — for them, for the organizers and volunteers I owe so much to, and for myself.
