Show notes

Alexandra Walker had already been on our radar for awhile from her consistent podium presence in almost every race she's in, but after she placed top 5 at the Spartan World Championships when no-one even had her as a dark horse, we had to have her on. We chat about:

- How a girl from Texas could get top five at the biggest mountain race, with the most competition, with freezing weather AND at altitude (aka the opposite of training conditions inTexas)

- Her love of Charlie the Unicorn (see below for video)

- Hyrox predictions for the race this weekend between Hunter Mcyntire, Brakken, Isaiah, Ryan Kent, Matt Kempson, Jack Bauer (and several more.)

and much more!
