We somehow got media credentials (shoutout to Natalie) and made our way to the USATF Indoor Championships—but not without a classic NMO logistical whoopsie.

Once in, we witnessed elite track & field action, learned about the true athleticism of race walking (which we’re officially rebranding as Thunder Strike), and got to chat with some legends, including Olympic gold medalist Dawn Harper-Nelson, shot put gold medalist Chase Jackson and pole vault champ Katie Moon—who may or may not have named her pole Paul.

Back at our hotel we had an unexpected VIP hotel tour that quickly spiraled into a full-on quinceañera experience.

Also in this episode: Erin’s kids experience their first track meet, make some friends with other media, and ask hard hitting questions.

Listen now and join the Thunder Strike movement.
