One described running in the sand with sandbags as the thing that sucks more than anything has ever sucked before. Take it from a guy who got stuck running sprints endlessly through the orange groves outside of Orlando… you are correct sir… you are correct.

Catching up with Ty Hanson about The Pensacola Beach Brawl, leaves me more excited about the event, and way more excited about the idea of being at the beach in September… especially a Florida Beach! No wonder competitors are coming from all around the country for this one!
GG: What was the driving desire behind this competition?
Ty: The driving desire has always been to put on an awesome competition right by the Beach. What an awesome combo that is, and we chose late September for a reason. It’s the best time to come enjoy the Beach. The summer crowd is out (…gone), the rates are cheaper, it’s not scorching hot, and the water is the prettiest!
