Lindsay Webster, the Canadian professional obstacle racer, has become a dominant force on the race circuit for the past few years. She is the reigning OCR World Champion for women and recently won the Spartan Race U.S. Championship Series last month. In 2014, she emerged from out of nowhere to finish 4th in the Spartan Race World Championships. Since that time she has been a force to be reckoned with on the course. All the while training, racing, and exploring life with her now husband Ryan Atkins.
Webster joins the podcast this week to talk about growing up and her early athletic pursuits. She talks about her family and sister (who happens to be an Olympian). We get into her obstacle racing career, balancing family life with racing, how she gets over a tough training day, and finally how culinary school and sports fit into her dream job.
Join the podcast this week to get an inside look at what makes Lindsay Webster a champion on and off the course.
