Spartan Racing|Transitioning From Open to Age Group

In this episode (audio brought over from my YouTube channel), I discuss my personal experience of transitioning from Spartan race open to age group. I lost 100 pounds and ran my first Spartan race in June 2017. After completing in 2 Spartan sprints I transitioned to age group for an early start time but I fell in love with competing and running age group in one race motivated me to improve upon my skills so that I could continue to do it for more races and place better and better each time. I joined age group before being "fast" or having a "clean" race and the more I competed the more I stepped up my gain. Eventually I found myself on the podium 3 times and in the top 10 in multiple races. As long as you are ready to attempt everything, go out there with a competitive can do attitude, and accept and do ALL penalties then you can run age group.
