World's Toughest Mudder is almost upon us ... which is a very strange thing to say in June since it has always been in either December or November! I met Wil Chung last year at WTM and discussed having him on the show to talk about the venue of Belvoir Castle since he has had a lot of experience there as a prominent member of the European TM community!  I also wanted to have Fran Chiorando on as well since she lives with an American and is hyper aware of cultural differences and knows about my interest in trying new snacks! We talk about cultural differences, some slang, travel tips, touristy things to do, food and snacks to try, obstacle differences, updates in the recently distributed information pack, and some information about this year's venue, Belvoir Castle!

We have heard about "Chainsaw Rick" for years but our paths had never crossed before with him mainly racing down south and us primarily running and covering the north.  Between him dominating Hildervat podiums and his recent cancer diagnosis, we figured that we should go out of our way to change that! We discuss the reason for his nickname, how he found the sport of OCR, his favorite moments in the sport, how Hildervat has changed over the years, his support of Lionhearts Fitness and the importance of their work, how he is handling his cancer diagnosis and much more! If you're in the area, consider checking out the Hildervat weekend being done in his honor on June 14th and 15th and/or support the fundraiser for Rick's medical bills which was put together by Shell Luccketta!

We have done OCR eulogy episodes in the past but never a eulogy episode on OCR podcasts! Mike used his first hand experience, Podchaser, and his own podcast app to find as many podcasts as he could find whether dead or alive.  He compiled the show names, descriptions, hosts, how many episodes released, date range of the show, and personal thoughts and experiences where applicable! There are well over 50 OCR podcasts discussed but apologies if we missed some.  We are a 2 person team and this took a pretty decent amount of time to put together.  See the shows mentioned in the time stamps below!

With World's Toughest Mudder coming up soon and it being both the first time the event is taking place in Europe as well as Katelyn's first time tackling the event herself, we figured it would be a good time to both selflessly and selfishly have an episode focused on first timer questions! Josh Fiore had been answering first timer questions on the WTM First Timer facebook group so we figured that he would be a great guest due to him being knowledgeable and has shown to take time out of his day to try to help those who are preparing to take on this ultra OCR!

We admittedly haven't had any episodes covering the US Spartan National so far this year so we looked at the third of four series races which took place in Big Bear and decided to change that! Mike first met Sabrina Buhagiar when doing finish line interviews at Spartan Citi Field last year, he saw her again preparing before we started the Spartan New Jersey Ultra last month!   When he saw that she took a podium finish at a Spartan Series race he reached out to have her on the show to be a guest via an interview. We discuss her athletic background being swimming, how she found the sport of obstacle course racing, how this and the previous two series races went for her, as well as her preparation for two Spartan Championship weekends later this year!

A benefit to reviewing the podiums for a variety of races during quick news each week is that is helps us keep a finger on the pulse of the change in the elite field in the sport!

When Mike was preparing to run his first Spartan Ultra he reached out to some elites to see who else would be there.  Joe Rucco explained that he was going to miss it in order to take on Toughest Mudder Atlanta ... well, he won it! We have had him on the show a few times in the past ranging from hybrid racing to World's Toughest Mudder and Spartan Stadium races but we never had him on for his own episode so we reached out to change that! You'll hear him talk about how he found the sport back in 2012, his love for both hybrid racing and OCR, how he balances his family life and training, winning Toughest Mudder Atlanta, a slight injury he recieved from a local race the weekend after, some events he has planned before World's Toughest Mudder at Belvoir Castle, and much more!

Part of being a weekly podcast and playing the role of media in a sport means that your own  athletic goals need to be put more in the background (Jason Dupree doing live streams for The OCR Report, Brakken Krakker recording and producing The Running Public, Matt B Davis heading Hybrid Fitness Media, etc.).  That being said, there are still a couple challenges left that Mike has been wanting to take on in the sport of OCR. One of them being wanting to try a Spartan Ultra Beast for the past 8 years, now just called the Spartan Ultra. Katelyn wanted to do an episode interviewing Mike about his first Spartan Ultra experience, he figured that it wouldn't be nearly as interesting as him doing pit by pit coverage of her first WTM which plan to be done in June.  As you can tell from the title though, he/I had my first DNF though so maybe that would be worth talking about for a bit. We are also supplementing the episode with a reRun of our 17th episode which covered Alex taking on his first Spartan Ultra Beast at the same venue in NJ back in 2017 so it's a bit of a hybrid release! Start – 4:33 – Intro 4:33 – 11:25 – Quick News 11:25 – 9:10 – Content Preface 9:10 – 49:47 - Mike's DNF Interview 49:47 – 1:18:56 - reRUN of  17.

A wet year doesn't make water rates any cheaper — in fact, it could mean higher rates. Then, last week's ICE raid in El Cajon led to criticism and protest. Another strike hits the UC system and an inewsource report on police guarding National City libraries. And, a conversation with Hidden San Diego creator Jessica Johnson.

We have been busy and didn't get the chance to do anything fun for April Fools this year, there also weren't any events that grabbed our attention that we could've done an episode on (other than maybe British OCR 3K Championship but time zone differences make it difficult)! Due to this we are releasing our third reRUN rerelease episode on the first April Fool's episode that we ever released.  The first half is actual coverage of an event that is unfortunately no longer around but you'll know the April Fool's part when you get to it ... or maybe not!  This fooled a few people back when it was released on April 1st 2019!

Many years ago we remember the Burmuda Triple Challenge being advertized on Obstacle Racing Media's podcast.  When we found out that a friend was doing it this year, we were surprised to realize that it was still around! This friend was Michael Kantor who went down to take on the events with his girlfriend Shannon Woodill.  We figured that if we didn't know it was still around then many others wouldn't as well, so we decided to have them on show to talk about it! We talk about their background in the sport, the island of Bermuda, the 3 different events, unique obstacles, what cause the races supported, additional things to do while on the island, and much more!

"If we want more books written about the sport, we need to buy books written about the sport" is a phrase that Mike and many others have repeated for years regarding OCR!  Due to this we have had a few authors on the show ranging from Des Linden to Gwendolyn Bounds! Tara Pipia reached out to us about her book "Sober Up: Spartan Style" which was published in December of last year! As described on the website, the book "sheds light on how Spartan Race and DEKA, Spartan's partner sport, have reconnected individuals with themselves and others, particularly after struggling with substance misuse. Highlighting the pressing issue of the current drug epidemic, Dr. Pipia advocates for the integration of Spartan Race and DEKA into rehabilitation centers, envisioning a supportive and healthy environment for individuals upon their release." Be sure to check out her book on Amazon and follow along with Tara on social media!

“I will give you the treasures of darkness, and riches from secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord.  I am the God of Israel who calls you by name.” -Isaiah 45:3   Welcome to The Adoption & Foster Care Journey—a podcast to encourage, educate and equip you as you care for children in crisis through adoption, foster care and kinship care.   On this episode, host Sandra Flach talks with adoptive mom, Jessica Johnson.

Her personal parenting experiences have given her a deeper understanding of the toll that stress can take on the body, as well as insight into how a parent's own upbringing shapes their attachment bond with their child. Jessica founded Root and Revive Wellness with a vision of equipping and providing holistic support for adoptive moms.   Listen to Sandra's conversation with Jessica Johnson as they discuss attachment styles, building connection with our kids, and holistic support for moms.   Please be sure to subscribe to the podcast, leave a review, and share it on your social media.

President Donald Trump is just over 50 days into his second term. In a matter of weeks, he has signed a flurry of executive actions that have spurred confusion, led to layoffs and even prompted lawsuits. Eric Segall, the Ashe Family Chair professor of law at Georgia State University, provides an analysis of some pending lawsuits and court rulings. Segall also discusses Trump's executive power, Trump’s statement on so-called "illegal protests" and his threat to pull funding from colleges that allow such protests. Last year, the US Department of Education provided up to $50 million in funding through its FAFSA Student Support Strategy to increase FAFSA completion rates for high school seniors, particularly for first-generation college students and for students of color. Under this effort, Jessica Johnson, a board member for the Atlanta Board of Education, and the founder and executive director of the Scholarship Academy, has worked to boost FAFSA completion rates for high school students across metro Atlanta. However, she says she was recently notified by the DOE about its decision not to continue funding its initiative. Johnson talks more about how the unfolding situation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We planned to finally give Abominable Snow Race some well deserved attention with a couple guests but we were unable to find a time that worked out after 2 attempts at rescheduling.  So after panicking for a while Mike resorted to another reRun episode, this time reairing our 4th episode which originally came out on January 29th, 2017! Long ago when OCR was still doing well in the Northeast of the US we had winter snow races with both Blizzard Blast in Massachusetts and Spartan Greek Peak in New York!  As someone who loves the cold, Mike misses one of the original local races in New England and figured that this would be an appropriate episode to rerelease since we are still in the winter months!

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Jessica Johnson, a licensed professional counselor, and manager of Behavioral Health Integration at Valley Health Behavioral Health Services. Mental Health Monday is a new series for 2025 aimed at addressing various mental health issues throughout the year. Janet expresses the unexpected and overwhelming need for such a series, especially in light of recent mass casualty events. Every month, the series will focus on different mental health topics, providing tips and strategies for self-care. Jessica brings a wealth of experience to the conversation, including her background in psychology, criminal justice, crisis intervention, and behavioral health. The discussion begins with the acknowledgment of the intense stress and anxiety that people are experiencing, exacerbated by recent tragedies like the helicopter/plane crash at both Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport as well as in a Philadelphia neighborhood.  Jessica highlights that everyone reacts differently to trauma and stress, elaborating on the concept of vicarious trauma—absorbing others' trauma by hearing their stories. She discusses how social media and news coverage can heighten anxiety and fear, leading to a sense of helplessness and catastrophizing. Janet shares a personal anecdote about attending a court hearing that left her deeply shaken and fearful, illustrating how vicarious trauma can affect one's sense of safety and well-being. Jessica confirms this reaction is normal and emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing such feelings. They explore how trauma and stress can manifest differently in individuals, depending on past experiences and personal resilience. Jessica explains the importance of staying in the present and developing coping mechanisms to manage anxiety and stress effectively. The conversation shifts to discussing the role of crisis intervention training (CIT) and the necessity of understanding that everyone's reactions to crises are valid and should be met with compassion rather than judgment. Janet and Jessica agree on the need for more empathy and support in society. Jessica provides practical tips for self-care, including recognizing when one is in crisis, writing down feelings, finding distractions, and understanding personal triggers. They discuss the importance of having a crisis plan and knowing when to seek professional help. Janet inquires about the process of seeing a therapist, noting that many people might find it intimidating. Jessica reassures listeners that therapy is a supportive, non-judgmental environment and encourages trying different therapists to find the right fit. They emphasize the availability of various therapy options, including online platforms.

I have been wanting to do this for a while ... even though I'm not sure him or the others in The OCR Report believed me! It's Jack Goras, the guy behind the camera at pretty much every major OCR that has happened in Europe or North America in the past 5 or so years! We haven't had much time to talk in the past when covering events since we are usually busy doing interviews while he is taking pictures and editing.  However we did get to hang out more at World's Toughest Mudder last year since it was a 24+ hour event, we shared a room at the  air bnb, and he hung out at the bar crawl. This was my way of getting to know more about him, so now you can also get to know him! We talk about photography, his favorite places that he has been, how he ended up being the photographer for The OCR Report, some travel nightmares, how he is going back to Ukraine to help yet again, and much more! 0:00 – 3:25 – Intro 3:25 – 7:46 – Quick News 7:46 – 8:11 – Content Preface 8:11 - 1:02:15 - Jack Goras Interview 1:02:15 - End – Outro Next weekend we will hopefully have another athlete on to talk about OCRWC and Spartan's  Short Course Championship in Croatia or a member of my local running club who ran every  street in Boston! ____ News Stories: Logan Nagel Married Tough Mudder Course of Legos Deejay Fox Running for Tourette Syndrome Awareness Spartan Bear Fired Ally Tippetts Baby Hannibal Race Postponed Leon Skin Cancer Removed Spartan Dallas Ultra Podiums Spartan Dallas Beast Podiums Spartan Dallas Super Podiums Hair Kombat Secret Link Muscle Deception Secret Link Northeast Hiking Secret Link Suit Marathon Secret Link Water Dive Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 359.

A bit of a pivot for this week's episode since Mike had his "A race" of the year, the FIT Challenge Survival of the FITtest! A couple years ago he planned to take on the 30 hour but due to an upcoming wedding, the final and most difficult semester of grad school, and some achilles pain the registration was moved back. This is the raw and pretty unedited (especially since Audacity gave me issues with the episode and I needed to redo almost everything) journey of me being able to call myself an ultra runner again!  So enjoy a look at the inside of my mind, many mistakes when talking, and a few ultra mistakes too! Next week we plan to get back to something more interesting but I hope you enjoy this anyway! 0:00 – 4:20 – Intro 4:20 – 11:08 – Quick News 11:08 – 12:58 – Content Preface 12:58 - 18:55 - To Race 18:55 - 24:40 - Start Line Audio 24:40 - 40:22 - Lap by Lap Audio 40:22 - 44:00 - Finish Audio 44:00 - 49:35 - Shower Shananigans 49:35 - End – Outro Next weekend we will hopefully have another athlete on to talk about OCRWC and Spartan's  Short Course Championship in Croatia! ____ News Stories: Save the Date April 5th for FIT Challenge Maybe 1000 Miles on a Track Rich Ryan Anniversary Lillie Elkin Engaged Emma Cook-Clarke Engaged Darren Martin Married Corinna Perkins (Coffin) ACL Recovery Video Series Terra Jackson Medical Scare Brooklyn Nichols Deka Ruck Mile and Deka Strong World Records Spartan Sprint World Championship Podiums: Women and Men Savage Race Dallas Podiums USAOCR 15K Podiums Fence Juke Secret Link Human Claw Secret Link Golf Trust Secret Link Soccer Skills Secret Link Camel Lemon Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 97.
