Spartan Race DC (actually in Mecanicsville, MD)

This was my second Spartan Sprint and this time I was brave enough to do it on my own.  The great thing is – you really are never alone as everyone along the course is super friendly and helpful.  So, if you feel you can almost get over that wall and just need a little…

Bonefrog Race DC (Charlotte Hall, MD) July 2019

I was excited for my 3rd OCR this year, and this time with a different organization.  Like Spartan, Bonefrog offers a few different course length options.  Since I have done 2 Spartan sprints I figured it was worth trying the longer course: Challenge with 6+ miles and 30+ obstacles.
