After reading her name at least a dozen times when reviewing podiums during quick news last year, we finally had Cassandra Gill on the show! She is fairly new to the sport but has found some pretty great success in the sport lately which led to her making the top 5 of Jack Bauer's post highlighting the leaderboard of elite Spartan Race podiums across 2023.  She is also both an animal, and a serious ice cream lover so she is one of our people! We discuss her athletic background, how she found obstacle course racing, support from fellow athletes, getting through some failures, some of her favorite race memories in 2023, big plans for 2024 and more! 0:00 – 3:42 – Intro 3:42 – 8:32 – Quick News 8:32 – 9:05 – Content Preface 9:05 - 58:41 - Cassandra Gill Interview 58:41 - End – Outro Next episode is planned to be part 1 of our Boston Run Show coverage! ____ News Stories: Join us at The Run Show in Boston and use code: lastchance Northeast Ultra Cup Faye Stenning Baby Miranda Kielpinski and Michael Suazo's New Dogs: Lyka and Aspen Kaci Monroe's New Dog Merlin Savage Race's 2024 Medal Reveal Deka 2024 Rulebook Updates MudGear Hannibal Race ProTeam Additions: Vivien Tran, Kevin Thompson, Sarah Grippi Snyder, Josh Fiore, and Noel Medina Fake Game Secret Link Musical Chairs Secret Link Early Celebration Secret Link Dead Hikers Secret Link Content Warning Secret Link ____ Related Episodes: 342.
