We were unsure as to what to do for this week's episode until we saw a post in the Southern Spartans Facebook Group about a guy who had just completed 400 Spartan Races!

His name is Tom Maming and I was excited to reach out to have him on the show to hear more about him, his achievement, and what he has planned for the future.

We discuss how he first got into OCR, Pinoy OCR, #eatmorerice, favorite moments in the sport, Buc-ees, favorite venues, and of course his impressive milestone!

It started off as a quick news story but Mike figured that he would reach out to the local athlete and he is so glad that he did!

David Filar ran across the state of Massachusetts and raised over $10,000 for Christmas toys to go to the UMASS Memorial Children's Hospital!

That is what initially caught our attention but we also discuss his running background, the importance of growth outside the comfort zone, and his career of designing incredible shoes for some well known people!

Be sure to donate to his fundraiser, and support the companies that helped support his goal like PYNRS, Grillos Pickles, Vee Friends, and Puma! Follow David Filar on social media and keep an eye out for his documentary to be released!

Mike finally traveled to New York to participate in and cover Obstacle Wonderland's Boogie Wonderland Event!

Wanting to both support a small northeast race and get some good mileage in, Mike registered for the 6 hour race. He ran 3 laps, interviewed the 3 hour finisher athletes with some midrace brain fog, ran another lap, interviewed the 6 hour finisher athletes while freezing in the windy cold on and off rain, the DJ, Gabe Capobianchi, Asa Coddington, and then recorded a personal recap while driving back to New Jersey!

We highly recommend you check out an Obstacle Wonderland event, the Northeast Ultra OCR Cup put together by Viking OCR, and come to the New England OCR Expo adding the virtual run for an awesome medal!

When Hawk Call started getting into some big Spartan Races a few years ago it got a lot of us who have been in the sport for a long time pretty excited! This is because many of us remember his father Hobie who is almost always in the conversation of who historically is one of the best men in the sport of OCR.

Hawk is his own own athlete though, and I didn't want to have him on the show just to talk about his dad. It didn't take long for him to start to make a name for himself though, and it quickly became more of an issue of having an open weekend for the show and have him on for his own episode.

Following his recent win at the Spartan US National Series Race in Big Bear we realized that we had a couple weeks where we could be flexible with episode content so Mike reached out to schedule an interview!

We discuss what it was like growing up in the sport, his style of training and racinging, his thoughts on the 3K format, how his recent Spartan Big Bear race went, nutrition, his preperation for the upcoming Broken Arrow Skyrace, where his athletic focus is, and much more!

We have been wanting to have Alisa Petrova on the show for a while now with us first reaching out to her back in December 2022 to talk about the Spartan World Championships that year! Her being 9 hours ahead of us made it pretty difficult to plan a good time to record but it was worth recording at 5am our time to finally have her on the show!

Alisa talks about how she wasn't medically allowed to engage in sports at a young age but eventually got into speed walking and later became involved with Hero Race. In more recent years she has continued to prove herself to be a podium threat at many championship events including the Spartan World Championships.

Within the past month she took on a new challenge in the form of an ultra by competing and winning Tough Mudder Infinity in AlUla. We discuss the barriers of fueling, pacing, and dealing with poor race day communications at the event. Also, her experience at the Government Games in Dubai this year!
