Episode 195 - Believe it or not, we have never dedicated an entire show to Hunter McIntyre. The closest being a 20 minute sit down back in April of 2014 as part of the USOCR episode. On today's show, Hunter and Matt discuss:

• The Boundless episode where he took on a French 140km bike race (and lost)
• Why he is training to be an "endurance athlete" and not necessarily a "Spartan Racer"
• His new World's Toughest Mudder 2016 teammate (and why he was chosen)
• The recent Spartan DQ's and what Spartan can do better
• Much, much more

Show Notes:

The USOCR podcast from May 2014

Boundless on Esquire Network

Being athletic growing up, Lindsey tried just about every sport you can think of. A few years ago, she bought a street bike, got bored quickly, and looked into competitive mountain biking. Then, in October of 2014, she had a bad bike accident which left her paralyzed below the waist.

Told immediately she would never walk again, she has been determined to prove that doctor, and many others wrong. She got an adaptive bike, is riding harder than ever, and found the OCR community along the way.

For her Instagram:

When I'm on my bike, I forget I'm paralyzed. I forget about everything but the dirt below me and the trail ahead of me. It's just me and the bike. I ride to be free from a condition that otherwise controls my every move. I ride for myself. I ride for all of those who believe that they are destined to be trapped in their disabled bodies. I ride for Paul. Because there is life beyond disability. There is freedom. You just have to be willing to seek it out.
