489. Winning Newbsanity’s Mud Gauntlet, Team Wonderland, and More with Jessica Carson!

May 18, 2026

Since there is a lot of traveling coming up for us soon we ended up not going to cover Newbsanity’s Mud Gauntlet like we wanted but we reached out to the women’s winner to talk about it!

Jessica Carson is on the newer side to OCR but she has been off to an incredible start with winning Spartan Poconos, doing well at Spartan NJ, and more recently winning Mud Gauntlet!

It isn’t often that someone outside of the Newbsanity circle does so well in their events, especially on their first try so we talked about how her race went, how she found the sport, her love of Obstacle Wonderland, being a mom of two, and much more!

Start – 3:14 – Intro
3:14 – 6:15 – Quick News
6:15 – 6:52 – Content Preface
6:52 – 1:00:54 – Jessica Carson Interview
1:00:54 – End – Outro

Next weekend may be an episode on the Spartan Big Bear Beast or whatever else we can cover before Mike leaves on his conference trip!
