Friend of the show Nick Gagnon set out to hike the appalachian trail earlier this year! Many listeners will remember us mentioning both his start and completion in quick news during previous episodes but only patreon supporters knew that I interviewed him back in October! It was great catching up with our Canadian friend and learning about his months long adventure where he perservered through barriers such as weather, overpacking, assault, animals, a couple thousand miles, and a whole lot of elevation. Learn about terms like trail magic, silk blazing, pack shakedown, as well as how he felt about each state that he traveled through. We cover a lot in this interview but check out his Instagram to watch his 16 part highlights where he documented his whole trip. 0:00 – 3:20 – Intro 3:20 – 10:36 – Quick News 10:36 – 11:15 – Content Preface 11:15 - 1:35:27 - Nick Gagnon Interview 1:35:27 - End – Outro Next episode will either be a Deka World Championships interview or a Spartan World Championship interview! ____ News Stories: Vote for OCR Buddy's Community Choice Awards Dave Robinson Engaged Ariana Scalfo's Baby 48 Hour Dreadmill Event Codispoti Fundraiser for London Marathon Deka Fit Male Team Record Deka Fit Female Team Record Deka Fit World Championship Podium: Men and Women Deka Mile World Championship Podium: Men and Women Baseball Interview Secret Link Reverse Roles Secret Link Drone Catch Secret Link Cruise Alone Secret Link Still Finish Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 151.

Mighty Blue On The Appalachian Trail: The Ultimate Mid-Life Crisis
Nick Gagnon is an elite level hiker. He completed the Great Western Loop in 2022 in under 200 days, a remarkable achievement in that the loop is just shy of 7,000 miles. Virtually by definition, Nick spent a lot of time by himself, and he shares with us his coping mechanisms for such a solo endeavor. He was so disciplined in his approach, sharing why this is so necessary for this particular trail. You can find out more about Nick by visiting his website at https://chezwicktreks.com/. He has a foundation that helps provide funds for water projects in countries that are in desperate need of such projects to provide their citizens with water security. Scroll down on Nick's website to read about–and donate to–the foundation. Steve Nota–a friend of the show from past years–joins our Mighty Blue Class of 2023. He came from Australia in 2022 to do the AT but had to spend time off the trail for a family emergency. He'll be heading back to complete the trail in March. If you'd like to find out more about "Then The Hail Came," check out George's website at https://georgesteffanos.webador.com/. You can also find George's book on Amazon at this link. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09QFG4ZR6.
