“My weekend | I'm not exactly a top athlete but I get my work done and when you see how athletes from all over the world face these mountains, you get humbled quickly. I'd like to think that I can be tough mentally, physically and spiritually but this course crushed me, testing all I got and more. It wasn't easy. I came in scared as hell knowing I was alone this time around but I'm proud to have conquered such a beautiful yet brutal course all on my own beating last year's time by an hour. I definitely got a fair share of burpees! Yes, I failed a few but I also got through the obstacles I wouldn't normally succeed in. I even lost both my tracker and my jacket at one point and had to run back around looking for them. Worth it. I know OCR isn't for everyone but when you do something that just lights you up, it becomes part of you. Glad to have friends that show their support by letting me share my stories, asking me how I did and even asking if I'm still alive at the end of it. I think it makes it more exciting. #spartanrace #spartanbeast #spartanwomen Road to Tahoe completed.” - 🤳🏼 @samnoriega #SpartanRaceWC17
