You guys don't know, but two days ago had to be the most terrifying moment of my life.

First time I met this man, I was in awe. The size of him was unlike anything I had ever seen in my life. If I can compare him to Evander Holyfield, one of America's famous boxers, he's a bit close.

My Spartan Bag: Energy Gels
Now that the Spartan Race is over, I want to evaluate and see just how great these Energy Gels are. In 2015, I didn't have any protein bars on me or energy gels. On that specific race in Melbourne, Australia, I almost gave up. Was it because I lacked energy? Or lacked Will-Power in general?... Continue Reading →
