407. Mike Reclaims Title of Ultra Runner at Survival of the FITtest 12 Hour Trail!

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! Next week we plan to get back to something more interesting but I hope you enjoy this anyway! 0:00 – 4:20 – Intro 4:20 – 11:08 – Quick News 11:08 – 12:58 – Content Preface 12:58 - 18:55 - To Race 18:55 - 24:40 - Start Line Audio 24:40 - 40:22 - Lap by Lap Audio 40:22 - 44:00 - Finish Audio 44:00 - 49:35 - Shower Shananigans 49:35 - End – Outro Next weekend we will hopefully have another athlete on to talk about OCRWC and Spartan's  Short Course Championship in Croatia! ____ News Stories: Save the Date April 5th for FIT Challenge Maybe 1000 Miles on a Track Rich Ryan Anniversary Lillie Elkin Engaged Emma Cook-Clarke Engaged Darren Martin Married Corinna Perkins (Coffin) ACL Recovery Video Series Terra Jackson Medical Scare Brooklyn Nichols Deka Ruck Mile and Deka Strong World Records Spartan Sprint World Championship Podiums: Women and Men Savage Race Dallas Podiums USAOCR 15K Podiums Fence Juke Secret Link Human Claw Secret Link Golf Trust Secret Link Soccer Skills Secret Link Camel Lemon Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 97.
