Obstacle Running Adventures

We were on vacation in Colorado busy exploring Denver, Colorado Springs, and Manitou Springs and didn't have time for an interview.

Instead, Mike and Katelyn do a post race and pre race discussion for New York Hyrox and World's Toughest Mudder respectively! Mike wasn't content with last week's episode in that he didn't get to talk much about his first Hyrox experience after the event and didn't want it tied to premium Patreon content as was teased in the post credit audio of that episode. We also thought that it would be interesting to revisit the same pre-World's Toughest Mudder questions that were asked before Katelyn's first WTM last year!

Start – 3:42 – Intro

3:42 – 7:12 – Quick News

7:12 – 7:35 – Content Preface

7:35 – 33:02 - Mike's Post New York Hyrox Experience

33:02 – 50:25 - Katelyn's Pre-World's Toughest Mudder Thoughts

50:25 – End – Outro

Next weekend we hope to do another pre-WTM interview!

We had plans to do an athlete interview this week but language barriers slowed things down a bit. Quick reminder that if you speak another language in addition to English, we would love the help of a translator to reduce the barriers to communication with athletes!

Between that and the fact that Mike is currently in an uber on the way to the airport at 3:26 AM Friday morning for a work conference in San Fransisco as he/I write this, we needed to make a stress free pivot!

Because of this, we are rereleasing episode 138. Bridge to Bridge 12k Run with Angela Melchiori!! originally released August 26th, 2019 which is interesting as Katelyn brought up because while that was released on Mike's/my birthday, this one is being released on Katelyn's birthday!

Since there is a lot of traveling coming up for us soon we ended up not going to cover Newbsanity's Mud Gauntlet like we wanted but we reached out to the women's winner to talk about it!

Jessica Carson is on the newer side to OCR but she has been off to an incredible start with winning Spartan Poconos, doing well at Spartan NJ, and more recently winning Mud Gauntlet!

It isn't often that someone outside of the Newbsanity circle does so well in their events, especially on their first try so we talked about how her race went, how she found the sport, her love of Obstacle Wonderland, being a mom of two, and much more!

Start – 3:14 – Intro

When it comes to DEKA there's one place that we like to go to focus on for coverage and it's Underdog Fitness. There are a bunch of reasons for this: Mike was coached by Kevin Gregory for a while, it's where we did our first DEKA, their athletes are frequently on the podium for DEKA World Championships every year, and they are some of our favorite people in the sport!

We went down Saturday night and brought Luci for her first hotel and race experience but as we talked about last episode she ended up getting high and hospitalized and Mike almost got arrested for speeding on the way home.

Things were a bit hectic with all that and there were many unintentional Irish Goodbyes but I think we did pretty well with an hour of interviews for coverage. Check out the names below!

Start – 5:05 – Intro

5:05 – 13:52 – Quick News

13:52 – 14:47 – Content Preface

14:47 – 1:16:30 - Interviews (Joe Rucco and Kelly Sullivan, Logan Goodman and Abby Giannobile, Robert Landman, Desmond Bernal and Erin Gutierrez, Pahola Nunez, Frank Tondora and Pete Burnham, Erin McGettigan, Larry Philips and Murielle Boyeah, Bruce Warner, Mike Lupo and Robert Perry, Emryck Tocabens and Logan Tocabens, Jessica Gregory, and Ms. Dora Avila from Muscular Puzzles Therapy)

1:16:30 – End – Outro

Next weekend will be hopefully being an interview to give attention to Newbsanity's Mud Gauntlet that we didn't end up making it to in person!

We saw that Miranda Kielpinski won the first of the USNS Northeast Series races in New Jersey (where we planned to be for coverage) and we knew that we needed to reach out to have her back on the show!

Miranda engages in a variety of fun outdoor activities such as biking, surfing, and hydrofoiling (which Mike just learned about for the first time). It was great to see that she has returned to OCR, took the win and wants to continue to take on the rest of the series this year!

Back to cover another FIT Challenge but this one was bittersweet! Robb McCoy has stated that he will be stepping away from the events and brand that he founded over a decade ago and that Darlene Gaudet will be taking over but keeping him as an advisor.

We are optimistic about the future of FIT Challenge and are grateful that Robb and some of his team will stay around! We talk to both Robb and Darlene about the upcoming change as well as some athletes at the course finish line!
