Spartan Beast up and down Mount Killington in Vermont on Saturday September 20, 2014. Morning temp around 50 degrees at the starting line, mountain top very windy, chilly, and literally inside a cloud.
Unofficially this course was 17 miles long (if you include the length of route added with the obstacles as SR doesn't include them) and was a leg buster. According to Spartan's chip table this course had a 39% DNF rate.
I improved my cardio/stamina from 2013's Killington Beast and actually thought I might have had a shot at besting last years time, even with this being a more difficult layout. Nope. This took me 9 damn hours. Though there was a lot of obstacle waiting, and most the downhills were unpassable single file trails just waiting for a broken ankle/knee. But still this course was brutal, if you didn't come prepared you weren't finishing. Which I was on the fence during the second sandbag carry, that almost broke me.
