Spartan didn't build much hype up around it, but the Spartan Pan American Championship was this weekend down in Mexico! We invited Angel Quintero to be our guest on the show as the second place finisher in the 3K and the winner of the Beast the following day.  There was a lot of talk about the lack of competition in Mexico but I wanted to have the chance to have Angel on the podcast to explain his thoughts on it! We discuss his background in the sport, the races that meant the most to him over the years, his thoughts on the state of the sport now, hopes for the future of OCR, and of course his very successful weekend! A huge thank you to Chriz Scherf for taking the time to be the translator for the interview! 0:00 – 2:57 – Intro 2:57 – 8:36 – Quick News 8:36 – 9:39 – Content Preface 9:39 - 1:28:29 - Angel Quintero Interview 1:28:29 - End – Outro Next episode we will be doing an episode on one of the many ideas that Mike has! ____ News Stories: Swim Around Manhattan Fundraiser Mark Neilan Hell on the Hill 92 Year Old Woman Marathon Faye Stenning Pregnant Kirk DeWindt Married Crossfit Games 5K Short Savage Race Pennsylvania Podiums Spartan Pan American Championship Beast Podiums Spartan Pan American Championship 3K Podiums Superpower Prank Secret Link Interview Nightmare Secret Link Zoom Art Secret Link Flight Help Secret Link Compassion Bike Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 322.
