S7E1: Hannibal Race Kuwait & FISO/OCR Triple Crown

Rachel Watters joins Evan excited to take on Hannibal Race in less than a week.  Make sure you follow along our social channels (@UltraOCRman @StrengthSpeed @MudGearBOTLProTeam and @Rachel_Fit_Girl) for all the updates.  The first half of the episode they talk expectations and Kuwaiti culture, great if you are planning a trip to the Middle East to race for something like Spartan World Championships in 2023. 

The second half of the episode they talk about the "OCR Triple Crown", FISO and why they have reservations with the organization along with their events.
