First, best aid stations of any race I’ve ever done. EVER. Having the tubs with ice water and a sponge to drip ice water down your neck was amazing. Beautiful but brutal course. Lots of climbs (that first climb was the worst), but a fantastic downhill around mile 3. The obstacles were different than you’d see at most OCRs – definitely more heavy carries, but Hammer Time was great, Boo’s Closet, and even Shape Shifter was fun. I thought the loops for the carries were a little long though, and there was a backup at Yolk’d especially.

Dropped a star for Production because Flip This House shut down right after I completed it because all of them were breaking. The backups at Yolk’d and Shape Shifter weren’t great (I ran open). Boo’s Closet was super fun, but as a shorter runner I honestly couldn’t get on it without someone helping me up since they were just a little high to step up on. BUT having straw/hay or whatever under the rope climb made a huge difference, and everything else was great. I’d still 5 star it overall if you add everything together and would totally do it again!
