Extreme racers put to the test




DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME— Competitors go through the paces at the Spartan Race Nov. 19 at Calamigos Ranch. Clockwise from above, Lindsey Gougherty leaps over burning logs, Erik Pfeiffer aims his spear, and Andrew Adler tries to avoid getting whacked by a pugil stick. The Spartan Race, an obstacle course racing series now in its second year, is the brainchild of Vermont extreme sports enthusist Joe Desena. Funds from last Saturday’s local event will benefit the Homes for Our Troops charity and Olympic runner Rod Dixon’s Kids Marathon Foundation.
