Legends: The Dark Wizard, Dean Potter

Dean Potter was an influential figure in adventure sports for nearly two decades, and perhaps the single person that influenced me the most in my 20's and 30's and my personal interactions with him are many and profound. His death in 2015 was a shock (but not necessarily a surprise) to many that knew him, and left a diverse community of climbers, high-liners, and wingsuit jumpers grappling with their own mortality. The recent release of "The Dark Wizard" documentary brings up a lot of memories, and leaves me reflecting on his impact, and a lot of my unresolved thoughts about his life and death. I'd strongly recommend watching the wonderful 4-part series either before, after, or in conjunction with this podcast - you won't be disappointed. Oh, and I found the image of my own "Dean Potter" moment that I mention in the podcast, and it serves are the episode art. What was i thinking?!? That is some long hair! (and the yoga-highlining with no harness was a bit out there too!)

Endurance Bike Training : Be Smart with a Smart Trainer

Want to know the one piece of gear that will up your endurance cycling game even more than an actual nice bike? Then you have come to the right place. And yeah - this should be on the Adventure Race Training Podcast - but my co-host and I have both been busy, I lost my computer, and well sometimes it is better just to get stuff out and sort it all out later - and I know you all missed my excited voice. Bonus if you listen to it while on the trainer - it will be like music to your ears.

The MAGNIficent Stuart Lynch

The Kiwi Sessions Continue: I have the pleasure of talking one on one with greats of Adventure Racing for the past two decades. With 8 world championships to his name, he's been a cornerstone of New Zealand's top team (Seagate and then Avaya). He's humble, open, and still super stoked on the sport. He's just taken back to back wins at both of New Zealand's expedition races - despite his team making one of the worst mistakes you can make in the sport. Lets dive in shall we?
