Spartan Fenway came earlier than we expected this year but Katelyn let me know that it was coming up so we signed up last minute ... but forgot to reach out for media credentials. Due to this making it take longer to get in the venue and the course being super short we missed interviewing a lot of the top elite finishers of the day. However we were still able to talk to a few elites and some other awesome members of the community in addition to some vendors! You'll hear 30 minutes of interviews with athletes and 16 minutes with mostly vendors (check time stamps below)!

We first met Matt Novakovich back in November of 2014 at the Spartan Race World Championship viewing party just outside of Fenway Park in Boston! We had him on the show back in 2018 on episode 89 when we covered Killington in person by doing finish line interviews. Between him losing his son, being public about his grief, and him returning to Killington to be honored, we figured it would be a great time to have him on the show for his own episode. We discuss his athletic background, his love for Alaska, how he found OCR, what it was like being on the Spartan Pro Team during the glory days of the sport, his return to Killington for the Beast, and how he has been handling his son's death.

Over the many years of doing elite interviews there have been some athletes that have risen to the top of Mike's favorites, Logan Broadbent being among them. Katelyn recently saw a post about him winning an ultra and setting a PR on the course and figured that we should have him back on the show. Once Mike realized how long it had been since his last appearance on the show (Palmerton 3K Live Coverage) he reached out to change that! Logan has competed and done well in a variety of sports including OCR, ninja, boomerang, and road running yet stays incredibly humble.  We catch up about him winning the Boomerang World Cup, the Spartan Northeast US National Series, and a road ultra! We also discuss why he loves his home city of Cleveland, and much more!

A couple episodes ago during quick news we mentioned the GoFundMe to help lessen the financial impact of Kris Rugloski participating in a endurance horse race in Mongolia! We followed along with her multi-day adventure from her Instagram stories and Mike reached out about potentially having her on the show to talk about the Mongol Derby as well as some other big life changes! We discuss some life changes like earning her degree, ending a long term babysitting job, and getting engaged as well as her background with horses, her adventure in Mongolia, her upcoming move, and much more! Be sure to follow her on social media and consider supporting the GoFundMe because it looks like it is still up!

After we covered World's Toughest Mudder we went to Paris to experience France for the first time!  We then took a train to Geneva, Switzerland and drove down to cover the Spartan Ultra World Championship in Morzine, France! This is part 2 of 2 for our coverage which is everything from Saturday!  This features a wedding, the award ceremony, and athlete interviews. Some interviews were more difficult to conduct due to language barriers but I appreciate those who  took the time to talk to us. That is the fun part of going to new countries but it makes it difficult when covering events as a podcast. Hope you enjoy hearing about this amazing event and consider checking out one of the most beautiful Spartan Races there is!

We did it! We have recorded, edited, produced, and published 500 episodes! Never missing a week, this took us 9 and a half years! We celebrate as we did last time with an Instagram live (admittedly more last minute than last time), Katelyn surprised me with more messages of support, and I put some personal and show mentions of us from  other podcasts since recording episode 400 in a compilation to celebrate.   Enjoy the unedited part of the show as well as the additional stuff at the end.  Thank you for the support over the years. Show will resume as normal next week!
