The triathlon was just one event held on day three of the five-day “Spartan Week” competition. Spartan Week was a weeklong event, where each day held a set of new challenges and competitive events. The events ranged from sporting tournaments to battle-focused events, and were designed to challenge even those of the greatest strength and spirit. Each battalion within the brigade fielded at least one team for each event, and competed for the lofty title of “Best Battalion” within the brigade. ( Army Photo by Staff Sgt.
