More Episodes

We admittedly haven't had any episodes covering the US Spartan National so far this year so we looked at the third of four series races which took place in Big Bear and decided to change that!

Mike first met Sabrina Buhagiar when doing finish line interviews at Spartan Citi Field last year, he saw her again preparing before we started the Spartan New Jersey Ultra last month! When he saw that she took a podium finish at a Spartan Series race he reached out to have her on the show to be a guest via an interview.

We discuss her athletic background being swimming, how she found the sport of obstacle course racing, how this and the previous two series races went for her, as well as her preparation for two Spartan Championship weekends later this year!
