461. Tyler Veerman on Colorado, OCR Redemption, Pike’s Peak Progress, and More!

Savage Race had its best turnout in five years, and after seeing Tyler Veerman take the win, I knew I wanted to have him back on the show. We talk about his life in Colorado, his Savage Race victory, lessons from the Spartan Super World Championships, progress at Pike’s Peak, and more.

Savage Race reportedly had their best turn out to a race in the past 5 years! The elite side had a pretty great turn out with an increased payout at the event and when I saw that Tyler Veerman won, I knew that I wanted to have him on the show again!

We first met and interviewed him after he won the 15K at OCRWC, had dinner with him in Palmerton after the 3K, and have crossed paths with him at WTM a few times and he has always seemed like a nice guy.

We talk about him living in Colorado, how his Savage race win went, what he thinks went wrong at the recent Spartan Super World Championships where he DNFed, progress made across consecutive Pike’s Peak races, and much more!

Be sure to follow him on Instagram and check out his website!
