Julie competed in the Spartan Beast in Utah, securing a 4th place finish, which propelled her to 2nd place in the National Series standings for the year. She had planned to travel to Indiana for the DEKA ULTRA, but the flight delays caused by CrowdStrike prevented her from doing so.

Instead, Julie joined us on the podcast, where she shared her experiences of winning $50,000 on Million Dollar Mile, being disqualified and then reinstated in a 3K race last year, overcoming an injury, parenting, and much more.

Stijn Lagrand is on a hot streak lately. He and his team won $40,000 in the Alula 8 hour race back in February. He then took first at the Spartan Beast in Zandvoort, and most recently took home the short course and the long course wins at the OCR Euro Champs in Hungary.

We'll chat about those events plus his thoughts on race rules and how strict marshalling can be frustrating for athletes. Plus, we'll talk the idea of letting athletes practice obstacles beforehand and how that could make races fairer and more exciting.

We'll also touch on possibly competing in the Trifecta World Championships and seeing how he does against the best Spartan racers in the world.

Then I am rejoined by Bryan from House Darling for a deeper dive into S2 E6 of House of the Dragon and House That Dragons Built.
