Today’s guests have come all the way from Morpeth England to participate in and finish the Arizona Trail 800 mountain bike race. They are a father and son team that persisted against the physical and environmental adversity dished out by this daunting trail. Together, they experienced extreme heat, cold, thirst, hunger, pain and joy throughout their journey that ended up being over 900 miles and 100,000’ of elevation gain. I’m honored to have the opportunity to sit down with them in person.

Today’s returning guest just completed an epic single speed journey on the Arizona Trail 800 Ultra Endurance Mountain Bike Race. She completed the 837 mile trail with over 100,000’ of elevation gain in 11 days, 12 hours and 19 minutes. She is a veteran, mom, wife, nurse practitioner, bike shop mechanic, and enduro racer turned bikepacker. At the time of this recording, its been only 5 days since her finish and I’m sure she has a lot of things to catch up on and a calorie deficit to correct so I’m super grateful she’s taken the time to sit down with me today.

I met today’s guest at a local running group here in Flagstaff and there I learned how fast and accomplished he is as a runner. He’s raced distances from one mile to 60k and his sweet spot seems to be the 50k distance. He recently completed his first triathlon, placed 8th overall in the Crown King Scramble, 3rd overall in the Adrenaline 50K night run , 2nd overall at the Tushars Mountain Run Marathon, 2nd overall at the Cocodona Elden Crest 36 and most notably placed 5th in the 2024 Imogene Pass Run, there were 599 in the mens division so this puts him in the top 1% of the finishers.
