You might not think of Alabama as holding many records in the world of endurance races (at least I didn’t), however, you’d be wrong! Alabama is home to the Great Alabama 650, a 650-mile paddle race down the Alabama Scenic River Trail going from the northern part of the state out to the Gulf of Mexico. Racers face whitewater, battle tidewater currents, and hike around a dozen dams in an effort to reach the ocean and are expected to finish between 7-10 days. Today we’re talking with the AL650 race director, Greg Wingo to learn just how challenging a race like this is to plan as well as compete in. Also, Adventure Sports Podcast is now a sponsor of Greg’s other race, Last Paddler Standing. Mason will be commentating during the LPS in December.To learn more about the Great Alabama 650: https://www.alabamascenicrivertrail.com/great-alabama-650/To learn more about the Last Paddler Standing: https://lastpaddlerstanding.com/Our Sponsors:* Check out Badlands Ranch: badlandsranch.com/ASP* Check out Gaia Provides and use my code ASP for a great deal: www.gaiaprovides.com* Check out Liquid IV and use my code ASP for a great deal: www.liquid-iv.com* Check out Mint Mobile: mintmobile.com/ASP* Check out Moorings: moorings.com* Check out Outdoor Electronics: feathersnapcam.com* Check out Shopify: shopify.com/asp* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In 2016 she became the first woman and youngest person to run self-supported around the coast of the UK – an adventure she was completely unqualified for, as an unexperienced runner whose athletic career consisted of one horrendous marathon dressed as a Crayola crayon. She is the author of best-selling book Coasting, which tells the story of her adventure and aims to show others that you don’t need to be the best at something to achieve something big.

Hey folks! Although this episode was going to be about fly fishing basics, Dave is a podcaster, so we ended up talking quite a bit about his show, Wet Fly Swing, and not so much about fly fishing itself. However, it’s a great conversation and I really enjoyed getting to know Dave. I hope you enjoy it too!Dave’s guide for Adventure Sports Podcast listeners to get into fly fishing and some of his best tips for getting started: https://wetflyswing.com/getting-started-with-fly-fishing-the-best-tips-from-600-podcast-episodes/Our Sponsors:* Check out Badlands Ranch: badlandsranch.com/ASP* Check out Gaia Provides and use my code ASP for a great deal: www.gaiaprovides.com* Check out Liquid IV and use my code ASP for a great deal: www.liquid-iv.com* Check out Mint Mobile: mintmobile.com/ASP* Check out Moorings: moorings.com* Check out Outdoor Electronics: feathersnapcam.com* Check out Shopify: shopify.com/asp* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

"Alpine Rising is a fascinating history of the crucial and frequently tragic role of local Nepalis, Tibetans, and Pakistanis on mountaineering expeditions to the world’s highest peaks."-- Jon KrakauerThe name of Maurice Herzog, the first man to reach the summit of Annapurna, is widely recognized, but how many know Ang Tharkay, the Sherpa who carried the seriously frostbitten Herzog on his back for miles? Although rarely mentioned in published accounts of early expeditions, local climbers have long been significant members of first ascents on the world’s tallest and most challenging peaks. In Alpine Rising, award-winning writer Bernadette McDonald sets the record straight by shining a light on these too often forgotten heroes.Now, in the 21st century, it is often local climbers who are setting records. A Nepali team was the first to climb K2 in winter; they reached the summit while singing their national anthem. Pakistani climbers like Little Karim and Ali Sadpara devoted their lives to helping others survive and succeed on and off the mountains and their stories deserve to be more widely known. Not only a timely reminder of the need to recognize the contributions of local climbers and the importance of correcting the historical record, Alpine Rising is a celebration of a region’s local heroes.Sales benefit the Khumbu Climbing Center (Nepal) and the ASCEND climbing program for girls (Pakistan)Bernadette McDonald has authored twelve books and has won numerous awards, including two Boardman Tasker Prizes, the Banff Mountain Book Festival Grand Prize, Italy’s ITAS Prize, and India’s Kekoo Naoroji Award. In 2011 the American Alpine Club awarded her their highest literary honour for excellence in mountain literature.Bernadette was the founding Vice President of Mountain Culture at The Banff Centre and director of the Banff Mountain Festivals for 20 years. She received the Alberta Order of Excellence in 2010, is an honorary member of the Himalayan Club and the Polish Mountaineering Association, and is a Fellow of the Explorers Club.When not writing, Bernadette climbs, hikes, skis, paddles and grows grapes.You can purchase Alpine Rising at mountaineers.org. Learn more about Bernadette and her other works: bernadettemcdonald.cabernadettemcdonald.comOur Sponsors:* Check out Badlands Ranch: badlandsranch.com/ASP* Check out Gaia Provides and use my code ASP for a great deal: www.gaiaprovides.com* Check out Liquid IV and use my code ASP for a great deal: www.liquid-iv.com* Check out Mint Mobile: mintmobile.com/ASP* Check out Moorings: moorings.com* Check out Outdoor Electronics: feathersnapcam.com* Check out Shopify: shopify.com/asp* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Originally published September 2, 2019Patrick and Michael have been living with Type 1 Diabetes for most of their lives. Feeling a bit isolated and hesitant as children to venture too far away from available insulin or glucose monitoring tools, they individually pursuit adventurous lives before coming together to show the world anything is possible with T1D through their latest adventure, Project 50-IN-50They climbed the 50 highpoints of each U.S. state and finished in 49 days – making them the first people with Type 1 diabetes to complete this achievement and joining an elite group of fewer than five people to do so the fastest in the world.Over the course of the 2019 summer, the team road-tripped over 17,000 miles to hike, run, climb and ski through 315 miles of trails. Patrick is the first person with T1D to successfully summit the highest peak in each of the 50 states. Michael experienced an emergency Life Flight off of Granite Peak in Montana and had to miss out on a handful of the peaks. Thankfully, he’s made a full recovery. After loads of tears and challenges along the way, Patrick and Michael persevered to complete their challenge.Project 50-IN-50 is an initiative of The Diabetes Family Connection, a North Carolina based 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. In addition to achieving a new milestone in mountaineering, Michael and Patrick have grown local and global communities of people with diabetes inspired to get outside and enjoy the outdoors.www.project50in50.orgInstagram: @project50in50Facebook: @project50in50www.thedfc.orgTheir upcoming events: project50in50.org/speakingOur Sponsors:* Check out Badlands Ranch: badlandsranch.com/ASP* Check out Gaia Provides and use my code ASP for a great deal: www.gaiaprovides.com* Check out Liquid IV and use my code ASP for a great deal: www.liquid-iv.com* Check out Mint Mobile: mintmobile.com/ASP* Check out Moorings: moorings.com* Check out Outdoor Electronics: feathersnapcam.com* Check out Shopify: shopify.com/asp* Check out The Wonderful Company: https://www.wonderfulpistachios.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/adventure-sports-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
