In the last episode (and a few before that), we kept talking about having an athlete on the show who we've mentioned a lot in Quick News because she's always popping up on the podium! We finally reached out to Chloe Melikian, who's been a major podium contender at West Coast Spartan Races. We chat about her athletic background, her thoughts on changes in the sport, the shifts in the Spartan Elite series, how the SoCal race went, the kayak carry obstacle, the importance of the community at her gym, and a whole lot more!
