On today’s episode, I’m sitting down with a special forces soldier and record-setting professional obstacle course racer. Interested in the outdoors from his early days in the scouts, this week’s guest had always been attracted to the idea of the military. Thinking about preparing for the course by putting his body through a variety of endurance sports, he could’ve never imagined he was actually readying himself for a career as a professional athlete. During his time as a soldier he took part in an exchange programme with Under Armour and ended up competing in his very first tough mudder, a race the brand was sponsoring. Finishing in 13th place, he realised he had a hidden talent for obstacle course racing and decided to get to work researching the sport and its opportunities. Now, racing professionally with Conquer the Gauntlet, here’s what it’s like to be Evan Perperis.
