Obstacle Running Adventures

Were our last 3 episodes too long, too exciting, and too awesome?! Well winter is here now and content gets more difficult so bear with us! Mike drove 2 1/2 hours up to South Portland, Maine to walk the Santa Hustle 5k on a frigid 12 degree morning.

Biggest event of the year for us and we will be splitting this into a 3 parter! This is the first time we have split something up so much but what can I say, we went super hard!

I know a lot of people have been excitedly waiting for this part 3! Before we get to a very intoxicated Javier you'll hear Katelyn talking to fellow pit crew members Mark Duplessis and April Dupree about what it takes to be a great pit crew and how it feels to get a friend to 100 miles. After that will be a post bar crawl interview with Javier Escobar at a Waffle House, because when your sponsored athlete wants Waffle House you get him there!

Do not panic about the length of this episode! This second part will have about 50 minutes of audio from the 4 hour brunch award ceremony (Mike trimmed it down to just the good stuff)! Following that will be about 2 hours and 15 minutes with awesome people in the Tough Mudder community at the brunch and bar crawl!

Biggest event of the year for us and we will be splitting this into a 3 parter! This is the first time we have split something up so much but what can I say, we went super hard!

This first part will have Katelyn, patron supporter Mark Duplessis, and Davis and Chace co-host Josh Chace discussing how their hot lap went and speculated how the course will go for the full 24 hour event. Following that you'll hear Javier Escobar (spoiler: who ended up getting 3rd place!) planning out his race with his pit crew. Lastly you'll hear audio from Mike's pit stops which really puts you in what it feels like to be in the event!

Originally wanted to have a low key episode covering the Houghton's Pond Trail Race that I ran and have Jason from OCR Talk call in about his Savage Race Experience in Texas but instead we finally followed through with an idea that I wanted to do for months!

Hear about who Javier thinks are the best looking athletes in the sport of OCR, music recommendations, stories of his mother's immigration, and what his favorite Pokemon is!

Also we have no connection with "First We Feast" or "Hot Ones", just a massive fan of Sean Evans and his show! Check out his episodes if you haven't already! First We Feast YouTube Channel!
