Saturday and Sunday, Feb 15-16, I kicked off my 8th season as a lead photographer for Spartan.  Diablo Grande in Patterson, 90 min from San Jose, is a great venue for a Spartan Race and holds a special place in my heart as it was the last place I participated in a race in 2017.  I ran in honor of my mom, who at the time was battling cancer, and passed away 2 months after.

For this first event, I coordinated our awesome team of course photographers, provided promotional photographer around the festival area and worked with one of my favorite people in the world, Mark Bahrenfuss.  The weather, both days, after an initial morning chill, was absolutely perfect, and the venue is beautiful for a Spartan event!  Saturday was a 10k Super race, and Sunday was a quick 5k Sprint.
