info_outlineBack in the day Spartan Stadium races were our favorite to both run and cover as media. We remember seeing a large man in a clown mask doing well at most of the events that we went to. Over more recent years Kevin Gregory/Bubbles the Clowne has grown to be even more of a threat in the hybrid racing scene!
Kevin has also become a friend of the show, as well as Mike's coach for about a year. Mike vowed that his first hybrid fitness race would be at his gym Underdog Fitness in Wallingford, CT! It took a while to get a date to fit in the schedule but Katelyn and Mike took it on despite Mike being pretty nervous (I am not a strong man) and having back issues (likely a weak core), and Katelyn waking up sick on Friday.
You'll hear from David Rundio, Kristine Pavelchak, Robert Landman, Ashley Harten, Lauren Carlson, Melinda Noel, Michael Racine, Greg Viggiano, Katelyn Ritter, ?, Heather Dall'Aste, Elizabeth Almansa, Kelly Sullivan, Taylor Febus, Mike Tubiak, Lisa Wawrzynowski, Kiefer Callisto, Amber Tait, Alexander Golik, Jess Gregory, Zack Tait, and Kevin Gregory!
