Just completed my first Spartan race on Saturday at the Charlotte Sprint. Ran in an open heat. We did ok, completing the 5 mile course in just over an hour and a half with the only failed obstacle being the spear throw. We didn't necessarily push ourselves to the max since it was our first Spartan and there were still some unknowns, pacing and all.

My OCR partner and I immediately committed afterwards to run the Asheville Super in August. He wants to sign up for the competitive heat, while I'm hesitant. We know that we wouldn't finish in the top 10% (I don't think we could finish in the top half), but his logic is that there will be less delays at the obstacles and less walking roadblocks

Anyone have any thoughts or ex

I apologize if this has been recently addressed, but after hours of searching Google and no fix, I turn to the trusty Reddit Community.

Yesterday my Nexus 6 decided that it will not turn on wifi. The quick on/off button does nothing, and if I open up settings, it indefinitely says "turning on wifi" but does not.

I've wiped my app cache, nothing. Wiped my system cache, nothing. Did a factory reset, nothing.

I unlocked my device and rooted it as soon as I bought it in April. I edited two lines of code for the Verizon unlimited data tethering work around. Haven't had the first minute's trouble out of the phone until this.

Any suggestions?

I'm from VA, and might be moving to the Charlotte, NC area to relocate for work. I have 11 years service as a volunteer and would like to continue volunteering if indeed I relocate.

Any advice on departments to look into in the area? I know that at least where I'm from, everyone in the service knows who the top volunteer departments are.

I don't have friends or family in the area, and seeing as how the fire service is a brotherhood, I thought I might reach out for some help from my extended fire service family.
