  • Nothing to dislike!

    I just started OCR this year and jumped right into competitive heats barely knowing the Ins and outs of the sport. Scott’s podcast has been awesome to listen to, get some little pro tips here and there that would have taken me years to figure out alone! also just hear some battle stories from him and guests that have been helping me prepare for future races and look into other challenges for myself! Georgia boys represent Scott, keep it up man!

  • Love it.

    I absolutely love this show. The guests are amazing and the discussions are relevant and helpful to us as racers. I look forward to listening to Scott’s the southern Jeff Foxworthty twang. If you wake up in the middle of the night thinking of what to put in your drop bin, you might be a spartan.
