348: The Real King of Pain in The Frozen Heart 900

February 13
1h 29m

Episode Description

Cold. Wind. Frozen stream crossings. Dumb ass decision making, or genius?

AFB recaps the Real King of Pain in Glastonbury, CT where thigh-deep icy water turned solid led to DQs (sorry Alex, Besic, and Bill), and winter racing felt more like a survival course. Josh and Shan hit Belltown AS, Mark Kelly (in shorts) and fast Tony D braved the road freeze, and Anna G tackled Frozen Snot, and Evil Becky wins Frozen Heart 900 because of course she did.

Special guest Ryan Danby reports back from the Frozen Heart 900 and shares his ultra origin story, CT kid turned multi-100 mile finisher at Anchor Down Ultra 24 Hour. He's already signed up again. Because apparently once isn't enough.

The crew debates big-money race acquisitions, grassroots trail culture, backyard ultra curious,  bear encounters, bad snowshoe customer service, cats destroying sleep, and Fred's escape plan to Mexico. Apparently AFB and Fred each have 3 cats, and Ryan has 1 dog; so at least you learned something. 

Plus we close with 112 Forever
