Podcast appearances and mentions of ryan kempson

Hot off the OCRWC podium in 2022, Kempson hit 2023 running with multiple wins in the Savage Pro series. He joins us to talk about his year so far, the current landscape of OCR, and what he hopes to see for the future.

Mike and Katelyn took the drive down to Palmerton, Pennsylvania to cover the most stacked Spartan race that they have ever been to (also to visit Scranton which The Office was based on)! This was also the first time meeting a lot of these Spartan athletes and staff as well which was great because the big series races don't come to the northeast like they used to.  Check below to see what athletes we had on the show and around what time to find them! 0:00 – 2:57 – Intro 2:57 – 9:53 – Quick News 9:53 – 11:38 – Content Preface 11:38 - 45:06 - Prelim 1K Heat Audio and Interviews (Thomas van Tonder, Samuel Hebert, Tyler Movsessian, Johnny Mares, Alex Walker, Immie Cross, Ashley Heller, Kaeley Wynsma, Adam Beach, Matt Gill, John Howard III, Rylan Schadegg, Jared Newby, Ally Tippets, Nicole Lunder) 45:06 - 1:14:41 - Final 3K Heats Audio and Interviews (Manuel Dufaux, Ryan Atkins, Logan Broadbent, Ryan Kempson, Kris Rugloski, Lauren Weeks, Lindsay Webster, Ida Mathilde Steensgaard) 1:14:41 - End – Outro Next episode we will be having an athlete on the show that has deserved her own episode for a while now and she is part of the MudGear Hannibal Race Team! ____ News Stories:  Spartan North American Season Pass Hyrox Majors Announcement Darth Valley Run Brakken Kraker 3K Experience Denise Wyse Death Spartan Red Deer Super Podiums Spartan Red Deer Sprint Podiums Savage Race Boston Podiums Burger Transformation Secret Link Tiny Car Secret Link Horse Dragging Secret Link Wrestling Compassion Secret Link Black 90s Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 322.

This week we decided to have Jordan McDougal on the show to talk about his experience at the Maryland Savage Race which is the third of their point series! Jordan is someone whose name we recognized from reading podiums over the years and we were grateful to have him on the show to learn more about him.  He is a family man who puts his wife and kids ahead of his training for the sport which is something we can appreciate.  He also put together the McDougal Obstacle Lab for his kids to play around on and practice a sport modeled by their father! 0:00 – 3:16 – Intro 3:16 – 13:53 – Quick News 13:53 – 14:38 – Content Preface 14:38 - 35:38 - Jordan McDougal Interview 35:38 - End – Outro Next episode we plan to have an elite ... or two on from Spartan Big Bear 3K! ____ News Stories: Consecutive Ultra Days World Record Ultra-OCR Man: The Documentary ORM's WTM Documentary on Outside TV Network Megan Beck on Tracked Bou Samnang's Last Place Finish Rick Hoyt Death Heart and Soul of Tough Mudder Petition Nicole Mericle Bows out of Spartan 3K Finals Tough Mudder Infinity Podiums Spartan Big Bear 3K Podiums: Men and Women Spartan Big Bear Beast and Super Podiums Savage Race Maryland Podiums: Men and Women Trickshot Secret Link Color Secret Link Salt Secret Link Emergency Secret Link Barber Secret Link ____ Related Episodes:  288.

The second Savage Point Series race happened this weekend, if you missed it then watch the live stream here! We had Ryan Kempson reach out to us about wanting to come on the show and then realized that despite him being featured in 11 different episodes with in person interviews, he has never had an episode of his own!  We have been big fans of both Kempson brothers with them being from New England and genuinely being down to earth people so this is making up for lost time. Ryan won the Savage Point Series last year and has been very vocal about wanting more competition in the Savage Series as well as other New England events like the Boston Spartan Sprint and Super, as well as FIT Challenge. We talk about USOCR, some training methodology, social media, the future of the sport, the Savage Series, and much more! 0:00 – 2:38 – Intro 2:38 – 8:04 – Quick News 8:04 – 9:12 – Content Preface 9:12 - 36:25 - Ryan Kempson Interview 36:25 - End – Outro Next episode Mike will be at the final FIT Challenge OCR doing elite interviews, running a lap, volunteering, and doing ultra interviews! ____ News Stories: Adventurey and Spartan Partnership Episode Obstacle Racing Media Coffee Cassandra and Matt Carroll Baby Announcement Coree Woltering Wins Lake Sonoma 50 Miler OCR Camps at Mike's Gym with Ida and Leon FLATline OCR 12 Hour Overnight FLATline OCR Forge for the Fourth The Lurig Run Baylor Stadium Spartan Race Podiums Savage Race Gainesville Podiums Gymnastics Secret Link Flock Secret Link CarJitsu Secret Link Schwarzenegger Secret Link Teasing Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 77.

Growing up in the woods of Vermont, Ryan felt very comfortable with a lack of “rules” as he and his brother, Matthew, explored the forests, played in the mud, and generally lived free-range. Ryan’s athletic pursuits eventually led him to the basketball court where he would spend his high school and college years excelling in the sport at a high level. The combination of being comfortable outdoors and the agility that basketball demands led Ryan to excel in the up and coming sport of obstacle course racing and even growing into being a professional in the sport. Like many professional athletes, Ryan has faced near career-ending injuries, adjustments in focus, and changes in passions. He has since returned his focus to the outdoors and recently accomplished the fastest-known-time of climbing all five of Vermont's 4,000 ft peaks and connecting them by bike! No matter what sport Ryan decides to focus on, it’s clear that he lives a life Without Compromise and continues to share what he knows with his students and mentees.

Spartan has officially purchased Tough Mudder! This is the biggest news in the OCR industry since the OCR industry became a thing approximately 10 years ago. We open the episode with a brief discussion of the Spartan/Tough Mudder purchase story so far. It has been an emotional journey. This past weekend was the first race of the 2020 Spartan US National Series in Jacksonville, Florida. Ryan Atkins and Lindsay Webster took home the wins for the men and the women. On today's episode, we talk with the top four male finishers about their race in Jacksonville. We will talk with the top female finishers in future episodes. (Note on that below). Each man we talked with had a slightly different take on the race, and we talked about slightly different topics with each one. Ryan Atkins commented on OCR and social media during the off-season. Veejay Jones also touched on social media and the lengths people go to document their workouts. Ryan Kempson talked about his one-second win over Ryan Woods for 3rd Place and Ryan Woods talked about the non-controversy that was his Herc Hoist. We need your help! Today is a LONG episode with four separate interviews. The top women from Jacksonville will each have shorter, individual episodes. Would you prefer one longer episode or several shorter episodes? Let us know in a review on Apple Podcasts and we will read it on a future episode.

This weekend is the fourth of the five races in the Spartan US Championship Series. Jack Bauer and Will Hicks discuss the standings and who they expect to win the race this weekend in Big Bear. Three men have risen to the top of the field in the series points race. Ryan Atkins, Ryan Kempson, and Ryan Kent all need to win Big Bear or at least place high to remain in the hunt. On the women's side it has become a two-person race. Lindsay Webster and Nicole Mericle have separated themselves from the field and are both positioned to take the series win with two more strong races. However, the Big Bear venue seems to be tailor-made to fit the strengths of Rea Kolbl.  This will be a great weekend of racing in Big Bear.

In this episode Ryan Kempson tells us about crushing the first U.S. National series race in Jacksonville, FL !!!!

In this episode Ryan Kempson tells us about crushing the first U.S. National series race in Jacksonville, FL !!!!

Elite OCR athlete Ryan Kempson joins me this week to talk all about his win at the Spartan US National Series Super in Jacksonville last weekend, the series as a whole, the sport of OCR, and how he trains for such a long season. We start with Ryan giving me his background and how he got into OCR. We then dive into Jacksonville and Ryan break down how his race went and the competition. We discuss the new obstacles, and then dive into the topic of officiating at races, and how Ryan feels Spartan is doing in that respect. We talk about penalties, and the degree to which they should or perhaps shouldn't be penalized, especially when compared to other sports. Ryan then tells me about how he trains for such a long OCR season without burning out, and we talk about the diversity of the courses in Spartan's US National Series and how it may affect the competition. I ask Ryan about his race preferences, and he tells me more about other OCRs he has run and how they differ from Spartan. We end with Ryan sharing his goals and the races he's focusing on this year, and how consistency is key in the sport of OCR.

Mike skips the Killington Beast for the first time since the Founders Race in order to go all in on media! Unfortunately his voice fizzles out pretty quickly and Katelyn steps up to conduct most of the interviews! You'll hear from elites like Rea Kolbl, Ryan Kempson, Brakken Kraker, and Kelly Sullivan from the Beast, Anne Champagne, and Jesse Bruce from the Ultra, and soooooooo many more! Towards the end you'll hear our recap of the Sunday Sprint with Angela as well as a special appearance of Scott "the Fayne" Knowles from "I Am A Spartan" podcast! Next weekend we will be in Gilford, NH for Tougher and Tough Mudder (Katelyn is seriously looking for people to run with), and we hope to hear from Jason Dupree from OCR talk about Savage Race in Dallas, TX!
