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! Josh shares his experinces and insights about training, race preparation, and how to stay positive during all 25.5 hours of World's Toughest Mudder!  Start – 4:02 – Intro 4:02 – 17:06 – Quick News 17:06 – 18:11 – Content Preface 18:11 – 1:20:15 - Josh Fiore Interview 1:20:15 – End – Outro Next weekend we aren't sure who we will have on the show yet but Mike has an idea that is proving to be pretty timely!  ____ News Stories: Jaleesa Himka Graduated Sara Korba Eye Surgery Jessika Poppe Engaged Jess O'Connell Had Baby Chainsaw Rick Has Cancer Ulrikke Evensen Injured Again World's Oldest Bodybuilder One World Canine OCR Clothing Optional 5K DEKA World Championship Location Spartan Ohio Ultra, Beast, and Super Podiums Tug Mud Dare Podiums Spartan Kyiv Sprint and Super Podiums Spartan Big Bear and Austin Trail Podiums Spartan Toronto Sprint and Super Podiums Tough Mudder Infinity Philadelphia Podiums Bear Crawl OCR Podiums Spartan UK National Series London West Super and Beast Podiums Spartan Chiba Super Podiums Spartan Ivory's Rock Ultra and Beast Podiums Spartan Zandvoort Beast Podiums ASCO Spartacus Dash Podiums Spartan Ivory Rock Sprint and Super Podiums Toughest Malmo Podiums Spartan Italy National Series Cesenatico Sprint and Super Podiums Rumble Fitness 3K Podiums Dog Poker Secret Link Dubstep Karaoke Secret Link Beer Solo Secret Link Money Lesson Secret Link Jeppson's Malort Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 114.

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.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

This time however, we focus on his background of finding the sport of obstacle course racing, life changes he needed to make in order to compete as an elite, his thoughts on local OCR,  how the Spartan Killington Ultra went, unfinished business at World's Toughest Mudder, and much more! 0:00 – 3:00 – Intro 3:00 – 8:49 – Quick News 8:49 – 9:11 – Content Preface 9:11 - 48:30 - Josh Fiore Interview 48:30 - End – Outro Next weekend we will be hearing from the male winner of the Spartan Pan-American Championships! ____ News Stories: Spartan 2025 Competitive Updates Deka Fit Florida Podiums: Men and Women Spartan European Championship Podiums Spartan Zell Am See-Kaprun Super Podiums Spartan Seattle Pan-Am Championship Podiums Spartan Seattle Super Podiums Spartan Killington Beast Podiums: Women and Men Spartan Killington Results Misplaced Money Secret Link Nintendough Secret Link Rock Sounds Secret Link Cavity Search Secret Link Nature Art Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 37.

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! Lastly, if you have information as to the spelling or last name of the guests in this episode, we would appreciate it. 0:00 – 6:40 – Intro 6:40 – 18:17 – Quick News 18:17 – 21:03 – Content Preface 21:03 - 25:27 - Start Line Audio 25:27 - 1:13:29 - Interviews (Laura Conkelin, Lisa Addelin, and  Emily Addelin, Jasmine Somatis, Kya, and Kaleen, Katie Callahan, Eric, Anthony, Jose, Jack, and Jesus, Andy, and Matt, Caroline Fritz, Becky, Steve Bacon, Jacqueline, Connor Nolan, and Sandra Pearson, Mike, Kristen, Angelica, Dazar,  Amir, and Kesha, Lee Carney, and Tracy Carney, Ryan McGowan, Joe Cronin, and Kevin LaPlatney, Greg Hall, David, Josh Fiore, Amy Haskell, Andy Haskell, Mike Stefano) 1:13:29 - 1:21:35 - Lynn Hall Interview 1:21:35 - End – Outro Next weekend we will have an episode on Spartan Pan American Championship in Seattle, the Killington Spartan Beast, or something else! ____ News Stories: Mike Lozan Death and Celebration of Life Run Obstacle Wonderland Course on Plattekill Day Anthony Kunkle Taking on OCRWC Evan Perperis New Book Carlo's Dog Peaches Cerus Fitness News Shield Justice Looking for Tough Mudder Sonoma 2023 Participants (Can't Find Ad but Here is Related Reddit Post) We Were Featured in OCR Directory Jack Carpenter's Brain Tumor Tyler Matechak Taking on The Barkley Fall Classic 50K Lindsay Webster Registered for Canadian Trail Racing Championships Spartan Canada National Series Kelowna Beast Podiums Spartan Kelowna Super Podiums Spartan Canadian National Series Results Spartan West Virginia Beast Podiums Spartan West Virginia Super Podiums Savage Maryland Podiums Car Seesaw Secret Link Baba Transition Secret Link Gym Pokemon Secret Link Old Gymnast Secret Link Old Runners Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 71.

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.

After Evan Perperis interviewed Mike to talk about OCR in the Northeast on Strength and Speed, Mike pulled an uno reverse and asked Evan to come on our show! We have heard of some events that take place in the center of the country but to have a much better idea of the state of the sport in that location it takes someone more local to the area.  With Evan living there for the majority of his OCR career, he was the perfect guest to talk about the events.
