Spartan Race at Fenway Park

"I got started with Spartan Races after I finished my first Tough Mudder. I wanted something that challenged me to push myself even further. I love SR because it is about being the best possible version of yourself. The best feeling in a race is when you hit a brick wall, either mentally or sometimes even physically- ha, that you're not sure you can get around.. but finding a way anyways. You dig deeper than you thought you ever could. That's the greatest feeling and once you've felt it you notice that, the 'never give up' mentally becomes a part of your whole life." -Shane Romano, after completing her third Spartan Race at Fenway Park.
