Jack Bauer – Spartan Race Statistics Mania Jan 08, 2019

Show notes

Jack Bauer sits down to explain the new Spartan Race Rankings Systems.

We will learn all about how he developed it, and have some fun looking up present and historical Spartan race data. We'll throw some fun questions out there like:

Got an idea who has the most wins in Spartan Race history? Betcha it's not who you think. PS The guy you are thinking about isn't even 2nd.

What if we told you that Brian Gowiski has more Spartan Race podiums than Atkins or Woods in the last 3 years?

How about who Matt and Jack say belong on the OCR Mount Rushmore?

Tune in and have your Spartan statistic fantasies fulfilled!
