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!

Welcome back friends! In this episode, I sit down with Erin Kelly-Sullivan, who began her career as a physical therapist and then pivoted into the world of branding and design. Erin shares her journey of realizing early in her PT career that clinical practice wasn't the right fit and how she navigated the uncertainty of what to do next. We dive into her transition to branding, the struggles of leaving an identity behind, and the lessons she's learned about building a business that aligns with who she is. Whether you're feeling stuck in your career or just love hearing stories of reinvention, this episode is full of honest insights and encouragement to rethink traditional career paths. Enjoy!!   Clinical Athlete Community FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18m1sb85Bd/

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 podcast, Dr. Kaitlyn Kolcun and Dr. Kelly Sullivan explain their rationale and process for transforming traditional prebriefing and debriefing experiences for a virtual-reality simulation to an online asynchronous format. Learn more about how they developed and implemented asynchronous prebriefing and debriefing activities and assessed student learning outcomes. Drs. Kolcun and Sullivan also describe the interesting subjective feedback students provided about the asynchronous virtual simulation experience. Read more about this in their teaching tip.

It has been a long time coming but we finally had Leon Kofoed on the show for his own episode! He is one of the more popular social media personalities in the sport and one of the most well known Danish athletes in the sport of OCR.  He was vocal about 2024 being his final year as a full time athlete so we discuss what that looks like, how it felt to take the win at an OCRWC event, his recovery from his Savage Race injury, the state of the sport in Europe compared to North America, how he feels about so many championships and much more!

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!

Instead we finally had Kevin "The Mudman" LaPlatney, on the show who has been in the sport since 2010 and has seen a lot of events come and go during his time living on Long Island.  He owned Obstacle Athletics which was a well known OCR gym in the area for many years, and continues to be a prominent member in the northeast OCR community.  We discuss his favorite events over the years, his love of ultras, being a dad, his thoughts on the changes in the sport, the fact that OCR is not dead yet, and more! 0:00 – 5:11 – Intro 5:11 – 9:39 – Quick News 9:39 – 10:18 – Content Preface 10:18 - 1:12:54 - Kevin LaPlatney Interview 1:12:54 - End – Outro Next weekend we will hopefully have an athlete on to talk about OCRWC or cover Naticook Challenge or BoldrDash's Doggie Dash! ____ News Stories: Rose Wetzel's Dad Spartan 2025 US National Series WTM Community Dinner Matt Caroll and Cassandra (Ohman) Caroll Baby's 1st Birthday Spartan Nashville Super Podiums OCRWC 3K Podiums: Men and Women OCRWC 15K Podiums: Women and Men Portopotty Mile Secret Link $1,000,000 Kiss Secret Link Calisthenics Gravity Secret Link Undercover Homeless Secret Link Llama Groomsman Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 275.

We had Yaris Cruz on the show once before while doing interviews at OCRWC in 2021, having her on again for her own episode was long overdue! Yaris as an athlete is known to be a force to be wreckoned with whether it be OCR, ninja, or even hybrid racing.  We discuss her background in sport before finding OCR (or lack thereof), the importance of mental health as an athlete, how her position as the vice president of Puerto Rico OCR Association has changed her perspective on the sport, her thoughts on World Obstacle's OCR World Championships in Costa Rica, and much much more! Also, in a time where many North American races are having their final events, there are some new ones just getting started!  Race Ready Obstacles has been building obstacles for races and selling quality training equiptment to people for years.  This year they hosted their first obstacle course themselves, MidWest OCR and Yaris took the gold! 0:00 – 5:54 – Intro 5:54 – 14:15 – Quick News 14:15 – 14:48 – Content Preface 10:40 - 1:17:43 - Yaris Cruz Interview 1:17:43 - End – Outro Next weekend we will hopefully have an athlete on the show to talk about their experience at OCRWC! ____ News Stories: Matt Kempson Married Daniel Liszewski Married Kris Rugloski Wins Barkley Fall Classic Again Camille Herron Wikipedia Controversy Grand Teton FKT Rejected Tickets Up On Sale for Boston Run Show and Boston Outdoor Expo World Obstacle and Dubai Police OCR Deka Atlas First Details OCRWC Prize Money Breakdown Ida Mathilde Steensgaard Wins Hyrox Stuttgart MidWest OCR Podiums MidWest OCR Bearded Challenge Podium 1904 Olympics Secret Link VR Gym Secret Link Graduation Speech Secret Link Convicted Criminal Secret Link Mobility Games Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 249.

We have been hearing about Baylen Bean for a while now, after his recent victory at Spartan Pan-American Championships we figured that it would be a perfect time to finally have him on the show! We talk about his athletic background, how he found obstacle course racing, the qualification process to join the elite field, his favorite race distances, how his championship event in Seattle went,  how that ranks in his all time racing accomplishments, potential interest in World's Toughest Mudder in the future, and much more!

Well, we still can't believe this is the first time that Josh Fiore has gotten his own episode but here we are! Josh has been involved with OCR in the northeast for well over a decade as a weekend warrior, volunteer, motivational speaker, and as an elite.  He has been on the show 7 times previous to this (episodes 114, 194, 328, 358, 360, 382, and 401) due to seeing him at Spartan Greek Peak, Kismet Cliff Run, FIT Challenge, World's Toughest Mudder, New England OCR Expo, and BoldrDash!

There were some big events that happened this weekend with Tough Mudder Infinity in Pittsburg, the final Conquer the Gauntlet under the Mainprize ownership, the first of the Savage Point Series races in Maryland, and the Spartan European Championships, but we covered the final BoldrDash OCR in Exeter, RI! BoldrDash as a race series had a huge role to play in our overall OCR history!  It was Mike's 9th ever OCR, and Katelyn's 7th ever OCR back on May 3rd 2014 (video here).  We have also volunteered more at this race than any other, whether it was Mike waking up really early to volunteer all day at an obstacle, or helping people through the course with the Find Your Bold/all abilities team! While it didn't have the huge reputation around the country or even world like FIT Challenge had with the annual community awards, it was still an integral aspect of local OCR in New England!  Lynn Hall started these events back in 2011, has put on events at incredible venues such as beaches, ski hills, and former amusement park land, before settling at a permanent course at Canonicus the past few years.  We wish Lynn the best in what she continues to do with Find Your Bold!

Lots of events happened this weekend so it was difficult to figure out which event to focus on and which particular athlete to have on the show.  I try not to have the same guest on for their own episode too many times, one of the big events had a lot of issues and I'd want to have more of the dust settle before we consider having an athlete on to talk about it. Then Mike saw that Jenny Overstreet won Toughest Mudder Chicago!  He first met her at the end of OCR America 2 during the KC Timber Challenge coverage.  He was severely sleep deprived from a full week of traveling across the country doing OCR so he has limited  memories of that day but it definitely happened! Jenny is an athlete from the midwest who is known to be a formidable ultra OCR athlete from previous Toughest and World Toughest Mudders so we were excited to have her on the show for her own episode.  Be sure to check out the MudGear Hannibal Race Pro Team that she is a part of as well as her gym RoKC! 0:00 – 3:18 – Intro 3:11 – 16:55 – Quick News 16:55 – 17:32 – Content Preface 17:32 - 1:00:35 - Jenny Overstreet Interview 1:00:35 - End – Outro Next weekend we will celebrating episode 400 (with a live intro and outro which we totally didn't forget about until recording the outro) and will hopefully have one or two special guests who I have been wanting to have on the show for over 5 years! ____ News Stories: Daniel Romanchuk Married USA OCR National Championships Reminder I Am A Spartan Podcast Hit 200 Episodes Trevor Cichosz New Book Simone Spirito Baby Nikolai Dam Baby Spartan Sprint and 100 Meter World Championship Money Ally Tippetts Anniversary Obstacle Wonderland Looking for Spring 2025 Theme and Title Spartan Trifecta World Championships in West Virginia?

The New England Spartan Super and Sprint weekend came back to Barre, MA and it felt good to be back!  Most are pretty familiar with the ~10K Super and the ~5K Sprint so those don't need too much description. In addition to taking on both of these events though, we also completed the Teddy Bear Crawl which is a 7am wave where adults crawl the kids course to earn a kids medal and kids could bear crawl it to earn a Sprint medal!  This event is free but it is recommended to make a donation in order to help purchase teddy bears for kiddos in a local hospital! Mike was able to talk to 25 different people on the mic and countless people off the mic across these 3 events.  These people ranging from elite athletes, weekend warriors, as well as vendors.  See specific people and brands in the time stamps below! 0:00 – 3:11 – Intro 3:11 – 10:05 – Quick News 10:05 – 11:12 – Content Preface 11:12 - 29:05 - Saturday Super Athlete Interviews (Brent Trail, Lucian Gleiser, Chris Ferland, Cassandra Gill and Joe Martello, Ksen Golivkina, and Taylor Febus) 29:05 - 35:28 - Sunday Teddy Bear Crawl Athlete Interviews (Steve Bacon, Mike Kantor, Alexis Zielonka) 35:28 - 1:11:56 - Sunday Sprint Athlete and Vendor Interviews (Kevin Gregory, Hartley and Christian Mahfood, Reign Body Fuel, Kelly Sullivan, Mario Valentin, Pete Burnham, Jacquie Desmond, Giv Soft Butter, Army, Loco Coffee, Dr. Squatch, LoveSac, and Shield Health and Fitness) 1:11:56 - 1:15:52 - Mike and Katelyn Recap 1:15:52- End – Outro Next weekend we may have an athlete on from Deka Fit Philadelphia, Chicago Toughest Mudder, or maybe something else entirely! ____ News Stories: Death at Crossfit Games Spartan Year of the Boar Spartan PanAmerican Championship Medal OCRWC Medals Conquer the Gauntlet is Bought Scorpion Run Cancelled Steel Puppet Secret Link Personal Record Secret Link Vegas Play Secret Link Skiing Jesus Secret Link Broken Vase Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 24.

We drove the 3 hours to Greenville, NY to cover the Ultra Viking 8 Hour (Northeast Ultra Cup Finale)/ Final Raid/ whatever we called their last event! The race director Asa Coddington aka OCR Yoda has been a prominant member in the OCR  community here in the northeast so it was a big blow that he announced that his last event would been this year.  Known for very difficult and historic obstacles, interesting penalties, and excellent medals the loss of this race will have a large impact on the sport.  There was also a night trail race that we ran and covered that event as well.

A few weeks ago Italy hosted the OCR European Championships!  While it can be difficult to have European athletes on the show due to frequent difficulties such as time zones and language barriers, the effort is worth it due to the abundance of talent that they have overseas! This time we had the privilege to speak to Dutch athlete Stijn Lagrand!  He is no stranger to doing well in elite OCR events but this OCR European Championships he took first not only in the short course, but the standard, and the men's relay team event as well which is a first in that event's history (along with Alisa Petrova who also achieved that honor this year)! We talk about his history of survival running, his team Hang On in the Netherlands, their Hang On Run event, how the style of sport varies depending on where events are held in Europe, the 3 band system, an overly complicated rule book, potential benefits of a more time trial format, how it felt to realize he placed first, dealing with pressure and much more! Be sure to keep an eye on the awesome athletes in Europe!

We have been aware of Noel Medina and his sweat checks for a while now but it was him joining the MudGear-Hannibal Race Pro Team that really got our attention! There wasn't good timing to have him on the show before now but when we saw that he was traveling to the Ultra House in Durango, CO to train with Anthony Kunkle we figured it was a great opportunity to learn more about him and plans moving forward! We discuss how he found the sport of OCR, a bit of his life before, his most memorable accomplishments in the sport so far, how it feels to be added to a pro team, why he made the trip to train with Kunkle, and much more!

Back in the day Spartan Stadium races were our favorite to both run and cover as media.  We remember seeing a large man in a clown mask doing well at most of the events that we went to.  Over more recent years Kevin Gregory/Bubbles the Clowne has grown to be even more of a threat in the hybrid racing scene! Kevin has also become a friend of the show, as well as Mike's coach for about a year.  Mike vowed that his first hybrid fitness race would be at his gym Underdog Fitness in Wallingford, CT!  It took a while to get a date to fit in the schedule but Katelyn and Mike took it on despite Mike being pretty nervous (I am not a strong man) and having back issues (likely a weak core), and Katelyn waking up sick on Friday. You'll hear from David Rundio, Kristine Pavelchak, Robert Landman, Ashley Harten, Lauren Carlson, Melinda Noel, Michael Racine, Greg Viggiano, Katelyn Ritter, ?, Heather Dall'Aste, Elizabeth Almansa, Kelly Sullivan, Taylor Febus, Mike Tubiak, Lisa Wawrzynowski, Kiefer Callisto, Amber Tait, Alexander Golik, Jess Gregory, Zack Tait, and Kevin Gregory! 0:00 – 4:54 – Intro 5:54 – 19:53 – Quick News 19:53 – 21:03 – Content Preface 21:03 - 1:23:08 - Underdog Fitness Interviews 1:23:08 - End – Outro Next episode is hopefully going to cover Obstacle Wonderland's Boogie 3 and 6 hour event in New York! ____ News Stories: Get Your Ass To 2024 New England OCR Expo on April 20th (use code "obstacles" for $5 off) Spartan Brought Back Prize Money to Remaining 2024 USNS Races 20 Page Recipe Bundle from Fittest Foodie When You Subscribe to VJ Newsletter Ida Mathilde Steensgaard Partnered with Team LSKD Spartan Post Pandemic Finishers According to ORM OCR Numbers According to OCR Buddy OCR World Series Now Features Cuba Savage Race Teamed Up with GORUCK for Jerry Carry Obstacle Race Ready Obstacle's New Obstacle WOCRF Enters the Confusion of OCR Leadership Ryan Brizzolara Engaged Hopstacle Run Podiums Spartan San Jose Beast Podiums Spartan San Jose Ultra Podiums Spartan San Jose Super Podiums Savage Race Gainesville Podiums Spartan Charlotte Super Podiums Spartan Charlotte Sprint Podiums Los Angeles Tough Mudder Infinity Podiums Underdog Fitness Deka Mile Podiums Happiness Goal Secret Link Carpenter Prank Secret Link Halloween Decoration Secret Link Horse Cyclist Secret Link Fire Sprinkler Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 74.

We haven't done one of these episodes in a while, and we were totally okay with that!
