Meet Zoe Chazen, a rising college junior who lives in New York. You most likely saw her on the recently aired Toughest Mudder Northeast that took place near Philadelphia back in May. Although she did run (and get 50 miles) at World's Toughest Mudder in Vegas last year, she is super new to our scene. We talk about how she came to decide to run and place in Philly, and then do it again at America's Toughest Mudder Midwest in Chicago 4 days ago. We learn about her training, or lack there of, and what really happened with her and Chikorita at The Mud Mile.

Today's show brings you the OCR guy we've known the longest, never to have appeared on the show. Hard to believe, but Joel Getty makes his first appearance on the show after knowing Matt for 5 years plus. Joel and Matt dig into the good ole days of circa 2012 obstacle racing industry, what brought Joel into OCR, what took Joel out of it, and Joel's "Last Hurrah" at the "Last" Tough Guy.

This episode could also be called : Asheville Finish Line Fun Plus Messner. First you are going to hear several back to back interviews from the finish line at the Asheville Spartan Super. Ryan Woods, Matt Kempson, Hobie Call, Robert Killian, Ian Hosek, Cody King, Nicole Mericle, Lindsay Webster, Rea Kobl, Faye Stenning, Alyssa Hawley, and a few more special drop in guests. Then I have my first sit down with Laura Messner. 5 years worth of episodes, and I have never had Laura on the show. So it was nice to have her come by the ORM tent for a (mostly) uninterrupted chat.
