440. Chainsaw Rick on Hildervat, Lionhearts Fitness, Cancer, and More!

We have heard about "Chainsaw Rick" for years but our paths had never crossed before with him mainly racing down south and us primarily running and covering the north.  Between him dominating Hildervat podiums and his recent cancer diagnosis, we figured that we should go out of our way to change that! We discuss the reason for his nickname, how he found the sport of OCR, his favorite moments in the sport, how Hildervat has changed over the years, his support of Lionhearts Fitness and the importance of their work, how he is handling his cancer diagnosis and much more! If you're in the area, consider checking out the Hildervat weekend being done in his honor on June 14th and 15th and/or support the fundraiser for Rick's medical bills which was put together by Shell Luccketta!
