Today Pretty Mike talks with Andrea Britten, fresh off the the course in Sacramento.  While there she ran both days and is getting the itch to do more and more OCR after her bother coaxed her into her first recently.  This episode talks a lot about the why.  Listen and find out her why.

This special episode is a companion to Candice Thornton Day's Written letter to Joe De Sena found here: https://www.facebook.com/notes/candice-thornton-day/rope-and-dagger/10157678874599547/

This is the second time this year Mike has had the honor of interviewing someone who had a near miss during a spartan race.  Earlier this year we spoke with Brandy Conlin after she head a heart attack during the Kimberley Trifecta weekend where the Spartan volunteers and medics didn't know what to do or how to respond.  

Today Candice talks about her races in 2019 and everything she went though.  The nudge from Joe to go take on the biggest challenge of her life, that subsequently made her question the safety protocols at the Tahoe Championships this year.  

We heard about many elites DNF'ing, getting pulled from the course for safety,  and Candice got the opportunity to run the same course on the same day with AG.  

It almost cost her everything.  

After this was recorded Joe De Sena reached out to Candice to let her know there will be changes to runner safety coming out in light of her story.

This month we learn all about what makes Lorenzo Contreras tick, his joy  of the sport, and his gratitude for the Beast OCR team and racing  community. We will also discuss some workouts to help build your  strength for those heavy OCR carries. Last, check out the nutrition  section for tips to enjoy the holiday meals without overindulging or  feeling deprived.
