Land O’ Lakes resident Brian Morgan completed the ULTRA Beast Spartan Championship in Lake Tahoe, California on Oct. 1. He hiked 36 miles, with 75 grueling obstacles and elevation changes of more than 16,000 feet — accomplishing the feat in 14 hours and 35 minutes. The course, considered one of the most difficult challenges in the world, draws well over a thousand competitors, with many failing to finish. Morgan, 28, did the bulk of his training in Dade City and Zephyrhills, hiking up and down U.S. 301 with a 50-pound sandbag. Morgan attended Land O’ Lakes High School and Pine View Middle School as a youth.
