| 466. Brooklyn Nichols on Winning the DEKA World Championship in FIT, MILE, and STRONG! | 10 Dec 2025 | 01:12:35 | |
DEKA World Championships took place in Fort Lauderdale, FL this past weekend and while we focus on being an OCR podcast, this event has my interest every year! Since we didn't fly down to cover it in person (someday!), we looked for an athlete to have on the show to talk about their experience. It didn't take long to pick Brooklyn Nichols as our potential guest as she had an incredible race weekend being the first elite to win all events, especially in an increasingly stacked field! We talk about her background in sport and fitness, coaching, how she came across hybrid racing, her history with DEKA, her plans for the world championships, HYROX, and much more! We did not discuss the sled station in the DEKA STRONG because what matters is the end result and that Brooklyn had an incredible series of races. I am not an expert in the sport but that being said Dave Claxton is as the head official, and DEKA stands by their decision and I'm sure there will be other podcasts talking about the situation. Start – 4:40 – Intro 4:40 – 13:10 – Quick News 13:10 – 14:25 – Content Preface 14:25 – 1:07:46 - Brooklyn Nichols Interview 1:07:46 – End – Outro Next weekend we have our final regular episode of the year, hopefully on what was teased previously! ____ News Stories: Heather Gollnick on iFIT's Trainer Games New Baby Stroller Mile World Record DEKA World Championships Results Basketball Inclusion Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 235.

We talked about the Taco Bell 50K in Colorado as a quick news story but then another one happened in Washington DC and I wanted to have someone on the show to talk about it! Carlo Piscitello noticed that MaryJane Osuji was taking on the challenge and suggested that she would be a good potential guest to talk about the experience. We met her at World's Toughest Mudder earlier this year, we liked her, and so we immediately reached out to have her back on the show! We talk about her background in OCR, what made her want to take on the endurance food challenge, details about the event including the rules and route, what was earned at the finish line, what other food challenges she would like to take on and much more!

Spartan Trifecta World Championship took place a week before Spartan Pan American Championship and there was a badass woman who won both events!

| 355. Cole DeRosa on his Military Service, Competition, and Spartan Age Group Changes! | 23 Oct 2023 | 01:11:14 | |
With all of the big changes that Spartan has announced regarding the combining of elite and age group waves (if you aren't all caught up there is a great Q and A here) we figured that it would be good to have an athlete on the show who has strattled the line of age group and elite over the years. We have been wanting to have Cole DeRosa on the show for a while since he is a pretty big name in the competitive community and seems like a genuinely good guy when heard on other shows over the years like I Am A Spartan Podcast in 2019 and The Running Public in 2020!

We wanted to have at least one more episode on the OCRWC weekend and we were hoping to have an athlete on the show representing Europe (since there weren't as many as previous years)! Signy Karoline Kolsto is from Norway and has somewhat recently made the jump from age group to elite after having pretty impressive results quickly in the sport. She was in Belgium to compete in the first FISO OCR World Championships but we primarily focus on Spartan Race's OCRWC.

| 353. Ian Hosek on FISO OCR World Championships, OCRWC, and Tough Mudder Saudi Arabia Morality! | 11 Oct 2023 | 01:12:44 | |
In the year where there are two OCRWCs I figured it would be great to hear from someone who went to compete in both of them! Ian Hosek has been a prominent member of USAOCR for a while now and he made the trip over to Belgium to compete in the first FISO OCR World Championships. More recently he competed in Spartan Race's OCRWC (man that's going to take some adjusting to) and took 2nd in the 3K, 2nd in the 15K, his men's relay team took 1st, and his coed team also took 1st! We talk about the differences between the two events, how he feels about his recent success in Mammoth Lakes, his feelings on the Tough Mudder Infinity in Saudi Arabia, and much more!

This year may have had FISO's first OCR World Championships but we still love Adventurey's weekend long OCRWC event as well! The past couple of years we have had an episode before the event as a way to build up more anticipation for it, 2021 we had Veejay Jones on the show before event weekend, and last year we had Fran Chiorando on! Of course there was the news that came out about Spartan Race's aquisition of the event so we figured that Adrian Bijanada would be great to both answer community questions and build some excitement up for what will assuredly be an excellent weekend!

| 351. FISO OCR World Championships with Short Course Champion Gian Maria Savani! | 24 Sep 2023 | 01:20:22 | |
Admittedly, we were unsure how the first FISO OCR Championships would go after their history of not being able to put on a world championship event for years. That being said the number of incredible athletes that showed up to Belgium to compete made this an incredible World Championship event! When looking through the results Gian Maria Savani stood out as both the winner of the short course, runner up of the standard course, and an athlete that we didn't know as much about. We reached out to have him on the show to hear more about him and were thrilled to have him as this week's guest! We discussed how he got into obstacle course racing, which athletes he looks up to, the importance of discipline, and how his races went. We also discuss some shortcomings of this event such as the overly complicated rule book, the continued lack of communication with prize money, there not being any drug testing, and Be sure to follow Gian on Instagram and cheer him on as he takes on future events, like the upcoming Italian OCR Championship finals! 0:00 – 2:43 – Intro 2:43 – 15:58 – Quick News 15:58 – 16:32 – Content Preface 16:32 - 1:15:14 - Gian Maria Savani Interview 1:15:14 - End – Outro Next episode we plan to have someone on the show to build anticipation for Adventurey ... uh Spartan's OCRWC! ____ News Stories: Nicole Mericle Competing to Join USA Ice Climbing Team Nick Gagnon Finished Appalacian Trail City Challenge Race Removed as Qualifier for OCRWC Spartan Athletes Are Still Waiting to Get Paid Paris 2024 is First Olympics to Have Equal Number of Men and Women Derti Development Facility is Closed Race Ready Obstacles Putting on The Midwest OCR Viking Obstacle Race's Special Event for Bonefrogs Viking's Trick or Treat Obstacle/Night Run Event (Code: "ORA" for 20% off and chance for 2nd free entry drawn Oct 2nd) Spartan Seattle Beast, Ultra, Super, and Sprint Results Spartan Angel's Stadium Podiums FISO 100 Meter Podiums?

| 350. Dustin Dorough on Early Days of OCR, Mental Health, a European Motorcycle Adventure, and More! | 19 Sep 2023 | 02:03:18 | |
Many of the OCR community from back in the day remember Dustin Dorough! Fast talker, excellent motivational speeches, and tearaway shorts ring a bell? He's worked for Spartan Race, Terrain Race, Bonefrog, and more over the years so we start off briefly touching on his history in OCR. For more of an in depth discussion though we recommend OCRWC Podcast's episode with him here! Much more recently Dustin completed an epic adventure journeying from the United Kingdom to Iraq on his motorcyle for a bunch of reasons!

Rylan Schadegg was a beloved member of both the OCR and hybrid racing communities! Our paths had crossed numerous times during our coverage of obstacle course racing and he stood out as always being very kind and respectful. We were devastated to hear the news of his passing and we wanted to do something for those that loved him. We first had him on the show in September 2022 after winning the Spartan North American Championship but we had the chance to meet him and having him on the show in person at both OCRWC and the Spartan Palmerton 3K Series race. He had words during our first interview with him that have been echoing in my head since I heard of his loss so we figured that we would reair that interview. Here are some of many other posts dedicated to him: OCRWC, Spartan Race, Hybrid Fitness Media, The OCR Report, DEKA, Hyrox, Jack Bauer, Dave Claxton, Jarrett Newby, Brett Milks, Jake, and Andre Bravo.

Spartan didn't build much hype up around it, but the Spartan Pan American Championship was this weekend down in Mexico! We invited Angel Quintero to be our guest on the show as the second place finisher in the 3K and the winner of the Beast the following day. There was a lot of talk about the lack of competition in Mexico but I wanted to have the chance to have Angel on the podcast to explain his thoughts on it! We discuss his background in the sport, the races that meant the most to him over the years, his thoughts on the state of the sport now, hopes for the future of OCR, and of course his very successful weekend!

| 340. Save Monadnock Ninja with James Golisano! | 10 Jul 2023 | 00:54:53 | |
A couple weeks ago we mentioned it on quick news but since James Golisano is a good friend of the show we figured we would have him on to talk about his Go Fund Me. This isn't something we do often but we figured that it'd be a good way and try to help! James opened up Monadnock Ninja back in 2020 and helped form a local community of youth ninjas. With very little notice he was told that the building that he had been renting was going to be sold so him and his equiptment don't really have anywhere to go. While the goal of the Go Fund Me is pretty large, I'm sure he would appreciate whatever could be given in order to help get this community back on their feet so they can continue their fun fitness. 0:00 – 3:45 – Intro 3:45 – 12:55 – Quick News 12:55 – 13:30 – Content Preface 13:30 - 49:50 - James Golisano Interview 49:50 - End – Outro Next episode we will hopefully have an athlete on the show who competed in the Savage Point Series race in Chicago!

We had Kaci Monroe on the show to talk about her previous experience with Spartan Race, her recent podium at a Savage Point Series Race, and much more! Kaci is someone who we have wanted to have on the show for a few years now. We are a weekly show so there are only 52 episodes in a year which sounds like a lot but isn't that many when you see how we plan out our year of coverage with all the events we cover. We had a weekend prepared for a Savage Ohio finisher and Kaci placed 2nd which is her highest placement so far and a huge improvement from her DNF when she first took on Savage Race earlier this year! 0:00 – 4:22 – Intro 4:22 – 9:54 – Quick News 9:54 – 10:34 – Content Preface 10:34 - 1:05:49 - Kaci Monroe Interview 1:05:49 - End – Outro Next episode we plan to have an athlete on who competed in Newbsanity's Last Man Standing or a member of the OCR and Ninja community who needs some help! ____ News Stories: Europe's Toughest Mudder Podiums Newbsanity's Last Man Standing Podiums ____ Related Episodes: 336.

Last weekend was massive for the sport of OCR in Europe! There was both Spartan European Championship as well as OCR European Championships. We followed the latter more closely and were excited to find a guest to come on the show and talk about it. Jesse de Heer finished first for the short course, second on the standard course, and his team Hang On placed first for the men's relay race! Having a pretty excellent finish in all events we figured that he would be a great guest to have on the show to talk about their events! We discuss the 3 band penalty system used, how it felt to take second to a teammate, strengths and weaknesses of European OCR, an overly complicated rule book, the seperation of Spartan and other OCR athletes, and much more!

| 336. Annie Dube on Making the Jump to Elite, Spartan 3K Thoughts, and Her First Savage Race! | 12 Jun 2023 | 01:00:46 | |
Annie Dube was frequently found on the podium in some pretty big events, and is still a member of the OCR Dream Team. Unfortunately with Spartan Race drastically changing the format of their series we have been robbed from seeing her and many other athletes compete lately. She did jump into her first Savage Race in Charlotte, NC last weekend and won by about 8 minutes so we had her on to discuss her experience with a different race series. We also talk about when athletes should make the decision to jump up to elite from age group, how the OCR Dream Team is still figuring out their future, and what other events she plans to do this year! 0:00 – 3:18 – Intro 3:18 – 15:06 – Quick News 15:06 – 15:39 – Content Preface 15:39 - 56:38 - Annie Dube Interview 56:38 - End – Outro Next episode we plan to either have an athlete from the European OCR Championships or from Savage Race's Ohio Point Series Race! ____ News Stories: We Won't Be at OCRWC This Year Air Quality in Northeast Due to Canada's Wildfires Tough Mudder May Return to Whistler Pentathalon Canada Obstacle Championships Advanced Notice for Poconos 3K Series Race Spartan Monterey Sprint Podiums OCR European Championship 3K Podiums: Men and Women OCR European Championship 100M Podiums OCR European Championship Team Podiums ____ Related Episodes: 301.

| 335. Goliathon with Winner Isaac Waychoff! | 06 Jun 2023 | 01:02:59 | |
There are a lot of incredible events that don't get the love they deserve, I would put Goliathon towards the top of that list. We weren't able to go down to the event due to the aforementioned house construction but I looked through the results for a potential guest. I saw that there was only one athlete who reached the status of David this year (which is a pretty damn big deal). Isaac Waychoff was that athlete so I reached out to him about coming on the show! It was great hearing about his gymnastic and ninja background. We walk through the 3 different difficulties of each of their 12 grand scale obstacles (watch videos of them here), his attitude with taking on this event, how it feels to be a 2x David achiever, and much more! 0:00 – 4:25 – Intro 4:25 – 15:15 – Quick News 15:15 – 16:22 – Content Preface 16:22 - 59:27 - Isaac Waychoff Interview 59:27 - End – Outro Next episode we plan to either have another elite from Spartan Big Bear 3K, or a recent ultra world record breaker, or live coverage from Tough Mudder New England, or something else! ____ News Stories: Unofficial Hyrox Season Changes Rylan's Back 2 Back Ministries Trip Bubbles and Zach Tait Broke Deka Mile Team Record Viking Obstacle Race Desperately Needs Volunteers Spartan Monterey Super Podiums Beggers and Thieves Competition Podiums ____ Related Episodes: 231.

Going back towards the beginning of the sport Rose Wetzel was often seen on the podiums, fast forward a decade to now and Rose continues to be competitive in the elite field! We have had her on the show a few times before for NorAM and OCRWC finish line interviews but it's easy to say that she very much deserved her own episode!

This was a huge weekend for elite OCR athletes! Savage Race Maryland (live stream here) and Spartan Big Bear 3K (live stream here) both happened, and there was no shortage of athletes to talk to. 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 Bou Samnang's Last Place Finish Heart and Soul of Tough Mudder Petition Nicole Mericle Bows out of Spartan 3K Finals Spartan Big Bear 3K Podiums: Men and Women Spartan Big Bear Beast and Super Podiums Savage Race Maryland Podiums: Men and Women ____ Related Episodes: 288.

There has been a big charge by USAOCR in getting a team together for the potential World Obstacle Championship being put on in Belgium later this year! Due to this, they reached out asking to come on the show and talk about it. As media we try to stay up to date with what is going on in our niche sport. Unfortunately USAOCR has been a bit of a blind spot in our knowledge so this was a helpful interview with Ian Hosek for ourselves as well in learning what is going on, why it's happening, and the overall changes that USAOCR has made to fix their reputation and begin laying down a better foundation for the sport moving forward. 0:00 – 4:27 – Intro 4:27 – 10:38 – Quick News 10:38 – 11:05 – Content Preface 11:05 - 43:13 - USAOCR Interview 43:13 - End – Outro Next episode we plan to either have an elite on from Savage Race Maryland or Spartan Big Bear 3K! ____ News Stories: Falmouth Road Race Registration Open Spartan Tampa Stadium Podiums: Men and Women Spartan Fayetteville Super Podiums ____ Related Episodes: 148.

That's what Cairn University is doing with their Highlander Mudder event that they had a couple weekends ago.

This weekend was New Jersey's Spartan Tri-State weekend! Mike inititally didn't recognize many of the names of the athletes on the podium from Saturday's Spartan Super but then realized that the first place finisher Chris Marrone was the winner of the Spartan 3K test event in Jacksonville! He was brought up during two recent interviews (our episode with Brett Milks on that test event as well as last episode with Adam Beach) so I had a feeling he would be someone we should have on the show! Hear about Chris's experience winning the Tri-State Spartan Super, his thoughts on the 3K format, other of his favorite races, and the changes that he has made in his life to pursue a name for himself as an OCR athlete! 0:00 – 3:40 – Intro 3:40 – 8:18 – Quick News 8:18 – 9:10 – Content Preface 9:10 - 48:41 - Chris Marrone Interview 48:41 - End – Outro Next episode Mike will be in Las Vegas for a wedding but we have an interview planned during the week to ensure we have an episode for you! ____ News Stories: Spartan Race's Go the Extra Mile Beetelite Replaced by SuperBeets Sport Faye Stenning on Good Day New York Rea Kolbl Sponsored by TheFeed Trans Woman Beats 14,000 Women in London Marathon New Jersey Spartan Super Podiums: Men and Women ____ Related Episodes: 95.

The first Spartan 3K series race was this weekend, if you missed it then be sure to watch the live stream here! We had an episode previously with Brett Milks after the 3K test event in Jacksonville and it was the first time that we have started to feel optimistic about Spartan Race making this format change.

| 328. The Final FIT Challenge OCR with Elites, Ultras, and More! | 17 Apr 2023 | 01:50:22 | |
FIT Challenge has been putting on obstacle course races since 2013 and we have been to almost every single one of them over the years (we just missed the very first one and the one during the extreme heat wave the summer of 2019)! Unfortunately that all comes to an end after this past weekend since it was their final event. It is the death of the most important New England local OCR that we have had and it also has some backing of that fact with it winning the best small OCR event just about every year that it has been a category.

| 327. Gainesville Savage Point Series Race with Ryan Kempson! | 10 Apr 2023 | 01:27:22 | |
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 – 3:04 – Intro 3:04 – 12:03 – Quick News 12:03 – 13:07 – Content Preface 13:07 - 1:22:27 - Ryan Kempson Interview 1:22:27 - 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 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 Baylor Stadium Spartan Race Podiums Savage Race Gainesville Podiums ____ Related Episodes: 77.
