. "0"^^ . . "Review of the 2017 Spartan Super\n\nRegistration: Pretty solidly organized. Check in is a breeze as long as you have all your waivers and tickets printed and signed. If not they have extras on hand. \n\nFacilities: Plenty of Porta-potties on hand which I really appreciate because when your have a thousand nervous bladders downing Gatorade there's bound to be a line to urinate but Spartan had plenty. Appreciated the changing room after the race. Lots of booths handing free goodies was nice too.\n\nCourse: First; the obstacles are so-so. Many of them (especially in the middle of the Super course) are rather simple and uninspired, wooden walls etc. They need more \"herculean hoist\" type obstacles scattered throughout the course instead of crammed into the last mile. Course seemed to more suited to the sprint as opposed to the Super. Second; the course terrain is not really conducive to running. I totally understand it's suppose to be challenging but running mile after mile in narrow ravines with fist sized rocks is just frustrating. Give me steep trails to break up the monotony.\n\nPrice: Charging for spectators to watch is silly and makes no business sense. I like many people didn't bring family/friends to watch.\n\nOverall: A good race to do as a sprint."^^ . . "0"^^ . "2017-03-27T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ . "3"^^ .
