World's Toughest Podcast 2016 Part III Nov 23, 2016

Show notes

Our final chapter for this year's World's Toughest Mudder podcasts ends with female champion Stefanie Bishop. You may remember we chatted with Stef a year and a half ago. At that time, she was swinging through town after winning an endurance event called The Gauntlet. On today's show we talk about all she has been up to since that last interview, her secret plan for winning WTM, a bonus tip on how to complete "Operation" and much more.

Before we get to Stef, we talk to our pal Nickademus Hollon again. We left Nick the day before WTM after reading his amazing blog about his great plans and high hopes for World's Toughest 2016. Things did not work out as he planned. Find out what happened, and if he is going to come back.
