Yep, we are here. The last guest ever for the ORM podcast. We’ve got one more episode to go where I will talk for a long time about everything I can think of in terms of what this show has meant for me, done for me, and how I hope it’s remembered.

Remember, ORM is not leaving, just this show. The website and social media channels live on, as well interviews and additonal content will continue to on YouTube.

For now, this is the final guest though. Morgan appeared on Episode 1 when I met her at The Death Race in the Summer of 2012. I would then see her at most World’s Toughest Mudders, and other random obstacle races over the next 13 years. When she decided to come to WTM in the UK, I knew it would be a great opportunity to have her end the journey we began together all of those years ago.

Giles Chater from TMHQ talks about key learnings from WTM. Just kidding, key learnings is a term used by wankers. We did talk about what worked, what didn't, and what might change for future UK World's Toughest Mudders.

Plus Wil Chung and Jason Rulo and I reflect back on our feelings of this year's event, what we think they nailed and what needs improvement.

Jason also has a great write up on this year's event - https://obstacleracingmedia.com/ocr-news/what-does-winning-look-like/

World's Toughest Mudder left the United States for the first time, and we spent the weekend in Grantham, UK at Belvoir Castle. Much to our surprise, we all got sunburned. That lines up nicely with getting frostbite in Atlanta. So there you go.

This is the first of two, and possibly three, World's Toughest Mudder 2025 wrap up episodes.

You will hear from Ian Kay, Heather Olson, Ian Floyd, Marco Caromba, Nikki Caromba, Kaytlin Ritter, Charlie Boher, Leo Brimicombe, Harvey Mitchell Divers, Josh Fiore, Liz Schlagel, Jillian Heller, Wil Chung, Joe Rucco, Kevin Gregory, AJ, Robyn Kotzsa, Grant Thompson, and Jessica Gregory
