Man props to Reed for finishing this out with his shoulder issues. BEAST!

[@djdonb6979]

Whenever Spartan uploads you know it’s boutta be a great day🤝

[@tamara23ish]

Amen!!

[@cdigdawg]

Another great coverage video! Thanks Spartan. Sorry that Woodsy is bowing out, he's a great guy and a wonderful ambassador for the sport. he will be missed.

[@ravinwolf4970]

Man, you guys are nailing the coverage on this one nicely done

[@mattsully2238]

Maybe don't show the podium in the link. Kinda takes the drama out of wondering who will win

[@JRsimp8]

We already knew who won before hand like a week ago lol

[@YourFitnessQuest]

Great race coverage. Those top 3 runners were certainly impressive but props to Reid to finish 4th despite the shoulder dislocations. What a beast!

[@zoobdo]

13:20 Woods "shh dont say that" hahaha

[@glennracz4647]

Great obstacle coverage! I was hoping top 6 would be Ryans, Marks, and Joshs.

[@dustyroads20]

Great coverage as always, but right after Atkins finishes the 2nd climb the editing cuts to the first descent?? Inverted wall was on the first descent, not the final one. So that was really weird editing there.

[@margaretmartinez4092]

Bravoooooo 👋👋👋👋👋👋

[@margaretmartinez4092]

GRANDIOSO 💪💪💪💪

[@daviddamasiewicz5954]

13:15 similar to 2 years ago Dont say that I had to laugh so hard

[@christopherboudreau6328]

This race was hardcore - my medal 🏅 hangs on the wall 💯🙌🏻 big bear 🐻 7 days … see you guys there - #Aroo

[@dyucht97]

Whoever edited this didn't know the course... the descent footage is shown out of order.

[@daegudiva]

So different from 2019 when it was a winter hurt-fest

[@adamsaldana5462]

All these elites missing the spear. Smh

[@maynardjeffers6605]

Who are the guys behind the cameras, keeping up with the runners? Would be nice to hear from them sometime. Its pretty amazing 😮

[@jmannino2112]

The Rabbits deserve a podium for their performance.

[@PatrickHigh74]

Ryan Woods … 43 in March. Awesome.

[@Race2BFit]

27:00 - Does anyone know how to re-locate a shoulder?? -- Animals!!

[@enriquecolin28]

Great job Ángel! hopefully we see you more often in the series in 2022.

[@passleycraig]

Great 👍 coverage. Thank you 🙏 for showing Reid completing race on the final obstacles. It was very inspirational

[@adamsaldana5462]

Reed is a badass. such devotion to the race. Hoping for a fast recovery

[@Francky74]

Bravo Atkins, incroyable du fait d'être porteur du dt1 😯🏔️👍💪🫶👌🏃

[@ant2464]

Don’t worry about that, that’s an Ultra runner right there. ???? 😮

[@jmichael6931]

Important note regarding Lars... He is the unsupported R2R2R FKT holder, but is not the outright FKT holder. That is Jim Walmsley by about 40min

[@oumun]

SPOILER ALERT!! Great race and great coverage, but please don't use again images of the winner's podium as the video thumbnail.

[@dyucht97]

did anyone else notice that Ryan Woods started the Twister off the "High" step start?? I thought that was only for female use.

[@passleycraig]

Great 👍 coverage and play by play. Steve, excellent course 👍. Very exciting finish

[@JaredHathaway]

FINALLY THE MENS RACE!

[@franciscogalvez7036]

VIVA MEXICO!!!! Angel Quintero you made us proud

[@paulleatham6830]

26:57 Cody Moat did the same thing in 2017 I think it was? 34:32 woods is flying.

[@IamMrCringe]

Does anyone know what the small white thing on the back of Ryan Atkins’ arm is?

[@ant2464]

I can't believe the spear misses. Holy smokes guys.

[@pinkstreakspeedgolf1738]

What's the weight of the atlas stone, bucket carry and the sand bags? 100 atlas 60ish bucket and like 80 sand?

[@paulleatham6830]

100 atlas, I think 70 men's bucket 60 men's sandbags women is an 80?lb atlas 50/60 bucket and 40/50 sandbag.

[@dylanporter92]

Atkins is my idol

[@jcesarmtz5820]

Porque Ryan Atkins en el Z wall se agarra de la esquina y usa en 2 ocasiones la escalera de apoyo para las mujeres en los monky bar , eso no es penalización?

[@paulleatham6830]

The only obstacles that give a penalty for using the "womens" steps are the 7', 8' walls and the slipwall as well as the 8' box, as of early 2020 the vertical posts are open for use as a support on Z wall.

[@Tibino]

So how many kilometers did they run?

[@darthyoda7657]

21 I think

[@mattsully2238]

I wonder how annoyed they get being chased by camera people

[@mattsully2238]

I mean I love the content. I'm glad they do but I would find it really disruptive

[@EricJohnsonGuru]

@@mattsully2238 For sure, it's also part of their elite contract so not much they can do about it.

[@seamus.dolan98]

David Magida is lowkey a cringe commentator lol

[@ibeg1951]

Where was Vj?

[@JRsimp8]

Ocrwc since both were together last weekend so racers had to decide on which one to go

[@ibeg1951]

@@JRsimp8 smart decision Tahoe beast is not a race to against atkins

[@JRsimp8]

@@ibeg1951 eh wouldn’t say that since he did in fact become champion as well at that event plus veejay has out beaten Ryan a few races this season so most likely next year he’ll prob have a run for his money not to mention robert killian might wanna come back to regain the champ back again

[@ibeg1951]

@@JRsimp8 killian is done Vj has beaten ryan this year. But it was like the second race for ryan Ryan doesn t race much...he is smart with timing his form for big races. Vj beaten him on tune up races Also the more techical the terrain gets...ryan has the advantage...especially on downhill

[@paulleatham6830]

@@ibeg1951 as far as Killian being done thats what everyone said about him in 2019 Cody Moat in 2017 and Hobie Call in 2016. And nothing is something to race against Atkins 2020 Jax and 2019 OCRWC 3k both seem to prove that if Veejay beats him Veejay is just a good racer not that he's just picking races that he's better at and Atkins is supposedly worse at.
