We have been hearing about Baylen Bean for a while now, after his recent victory at Spartan Pan-American Championships we figured that it would be a perfect time to finally have him on the show!
We talk about his athletic background, how he found obstacle course racing, the qualification process to join the elite field, his favorite race distances, how his championship event in Seattle went, how that ranks in his all time racing accomplishments, potential interest in World’s Toughest Mudder in the future, and much more!
Be sure to support the sponsors who support our athletes in our sport like Elete Electrolytes, Kriva CBD, and Honey Stinger!
