The Checkpoint Podcast
Welcome to Episode 1 of USARA's The Checkpoint Podcast.
Join Brent Freedland (with a little help from Brian Gatens of The Dark Zone: An Adventure Racing Podcast) as he interviews race directors from across the U.S. This episode features the race directors for two Regional Qualifier Races: Kevin Edwards of Rolla Multisport, race director of The Berryman Adventure, and Brian Holzhausen of DINO Racing, race director of Mission Adventure Race.
Brian interviews PT Dr. Karyn Dulaney as she breaks down how adventure racers can, well, not break down by taking care of themselves in a variety of ways.
