Rain and cold plagued the Spartan New Jersey Super on Saturday and Sunday, October 22nd and 23rd. Crew members did their best to stay warm and safe during the fast-paced races. On Saturday in the Elite heat, Richie Hilton (2:24:27) took 42nd Overall. Luke Walsh (2:30:45) took 56th Overall. Eric Zucaro (2:54:51) took 8th in his Age Group. Brandon Martin (3:05:45) grabbed his 7x Trifecta. And Tom Spitzer (3:11:36) made his first appearance in an Elite race and was happy with his performance.

​The Crew OCR is happy to announce their partnership with V1KTOR Athletics. Various Crew members have been using V1KTOR socks for a good portion of the 2016 OCR season. On the left, Crew member Arthur Davis tackles the final slip wall at the 2016 OCR World Championships in his V1KTOR performance socks. He says, "The V1ktor socks are perfect for any obstacle race. They fit great and protect your legs from rope burn and tons of other obstacles."

Crew member Shyane MacLean says, "I like that it's versatile for gym and outdoor use, it's thick like a Nike baller sock, but performs better! And I love the designs!"
​

​Cold mornings are beginning to make their appearance at OCRs as the fall season begins. On the first brisk weekend of the season, Crew members took on the Maryland Savage Race along with some other non-OCR events.

At Savage, Richie Hilton (58:12:06) kept his band for 100% obstacle completion and took 11th Overall and 1st in his Age Group in the Pro Division. Derek Rozanski (1:15:09) finally returned to racing after rehabbing a leg injury and was happy to also keep his band and place 43rd Overall in the Pro Division. Arthur Davis competed in his first Pro Division race and kept his band. Also finishing the wet, slippery course and earning their Syndicate medals were: Brandon Martin, Bill Everett, and Jim Lasco.

​The Crew had a fantastic weekend on October 1st and 2nd. A few members represented at the Spartan World Championships in Tahoe, CA, while others made a name for themselves at Goliathon VI in Mullica Hill, NJ.
 
Out in California, the Spartan Race World Championship race did not disappoint. The Crew was represented in the Championship Elite heat by Ben Kinsinger (3:12:54) and Brittany Corbett (4:46:40). Ben was happy with his race, pulling 54th Overall.  His best race moment was when he killed the double sandbag carry without setting them down at all. Brittany came in the Top 100 Females. Brandon Martin ran back-to-back Beasts over the weekend and was happy to finish in the Top 40% Elites on Saturday (4:51:34) and go burpee-free on Sunday (5:17:34) despite the cold and rain.
