After winning it all in Vegas in 2017 she defended her title in Atlanta in 2018. She and Boone are the only back-to-back women's champions of World's Toughest Mudder.
Rea joins us to talk about her campaign with Ultimate Direction called "Run Your Own Race" and what that means to her. Also, we haven't had her on the show in a long time and we missed her.
