The Original “Barn Beast” Jason Jaksetic | LotDR Episode 046

  • September 24, 2020
  • Tera

Welcome to the Legend of the Death Race Podcast, where you’ll hear the legends of past Death Racers, new and old.

In this week’s episode, Tony catches up with the creator of the Spartan WOD, Jason Jaksetic. Jason was no stranger to the world of endurance races when he found himself living on Joe’s property to train for the Death Race; earning him the nickname “Barn Beast”. 

He shares his hindsight on what motivated him to get outside his comfort zone, what he gained from his experience, and how the race changed his perspective on the pleasure and growth we can seek in the suffering.
