The Spartan website says, “One of the many things that makes the Spartan Death Race so incredibly soul-crushing is that whatever stressful situation you are dealing with in one moment — 26 miles of crawling under barbed wire, 12 hours of burpees, counting out 500 pennies while shivering and sleep-deprived … you get the picture — you never know what stressful situation is coming next.” So what do you think of Spartan Race now?
