It's NORAM time! Brakken is busy buffing his shiny head, so Beni shacked up in a cabin with Veejay Jones in the mountains of Stratton, Vermont.

- Just hours before go time for the 3k North American Champs, Beni asks Veejay what his plans and predictions are...and he comes out swinging!

- Just after finishing, the two rejoin to recap the details of the race; what it's like to race head-to-head with legend Ryan Atkins, the complexity of the obstacles and exactly how accurate (or not) his predictions were...

- Some great not-so-rapid rapid-fire questions...

...and much more!

Show notes

It's time to get to know Brakken! The OD hosts have been wanting to open up the range of topics discussed on the podcast and thought a great way to do that would be to interview and get to know Brakken as the person he is 1st and athlete second. We chat about...

-How the parenting landscape has changed from his childhood compared to current day when Brakken had CPS called on him and his wife one evening for the activity they were doing in a parking lot with their kiddos... -The difference growing up in a passion driven home can make on a kids adult life... -Brakken's total denial of Beni's attempt to get him to try shrooms... ...and much more!
