    It was rough. The last hill killed me, my hips didnt want to keep climbing. I didn't take any breaks till then. That and the fact that the 3rd water station had no water didnt help. I started in the 12:30 heat and finished at 6ish.

    Last one was bad but still loved it... For the water, I was kind of expecting it so I had a camel bag

    I do remember you Tuneses, I think we traded places a few times, the pink hair was memorable. I ended up finishing about 5:40-5:45 It was certainly harder than I expected. Lynux you also look familiar. I was working registration, so I pretty much saw everyone.

    There is a 5 peaks trail race at camp fortune August 8th that I am thinking of entering. It is 13.8 KM so hill wise it should be similar to the Spartan Beast without the obstacles.

    There is a series of 5 races, 2 of them have already taken place, it looks like a great way to keep in shape for Spartan type races.
