Frontline is partnered with Operation Enduring Warrior and The Byron Firefighter's Association. Donations from race entries will be made to these organizations.

Today Pretty Mike James continues our monthly conversation with The OCR Trainer Megan Beck . She is an OCR trainer and can help you get better at obstacle completion or attacking the course. She is also one of the hosts of Middle Of The Pack Podcast . This was supposed to be a monthly check in on how Mike's progressing and comparing notes. But with a shoe blowout at SISU PNW that ended up being the focus of the shoe. Both Mike and Megan(and your editor in chief Sir Boggs) are all pretty disappointed with Altra ending the King MT a few year back and not having something that is in our opinion comparable. Mike is down to his last pair, so is Boggs, and now Megan has rotated her last pair into the mix. We hate finding new shoes! But, I digress, this is an episode where Mike and Megan talk about testing gear before a race, rotating gear to keep fresh, and there is a bit a of message to ALTRA in there......

On Today's episode Pretty Mike talks with Jeremy "Captain" Kaufmann about his company Core Events. They run 4 in person events and 4 virtual events annually and the Double Down bicycling challenge starts July 1st. Get signed up. It's going to be lots of fun. https://www.corefitnesspdx.com/Mike and Jeremy also spend a lot of time talking about the state of OCR in the PNW. With the nationals all combining over the last few years and pulling out of the PNW we are left without OCR. Not including Terrain Race or their other companies we have less than a dozen OCRs in the Seattle Portland area of which 3 are national brands. Spartan has dropped Portland, Tough Mudder failed to deliver Portland last year and backed out of Portland going forward, Rugged Maniac stopped doing Seattle before covid and doesn't appear to be coming back. So we have one Trifecta weekend in Monroe Wa, one Tough Mudder event in Black Diamond WA, and one Rugged Maniac in Portland. So, it's up to us all to support all the local OCRs and event companies like Core Events to help grow a local community and not rely on the nationals that all appear to be abandoning the PNW. Again, sign up for these events. We need more. https://www.corefitnesspdx.com/www.BeastNetPod.com Music Info: https://beastnetpod.com/music #beastnetpod #OCRBuddy #OCRStrong #teamnuun #madetougher #defineyourlegacy #raceLOCAL --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/beastnetpod/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/beastnetpod/support
