In this episode of the Perfect Flow Podcast I talk to top adventure racer Stuart Lynch before he starts his 8th Godzone on Sunday with Team Swordfox. Stuart has been one of the top adventure racers in the world for many years now, racing with teams like Orion Health, Thule, Seagate and Avaya, and has won 7 World Championships.
The audio for interview is sadly sub-optimal. This was an unexpected software issue at my end that I can repeat, but not explain, and didn’t notice when I set up the microphones. I avoided it simply by luck on my previous recordings. I noticed that you get used to the distorted sound pretty quickly and it seems to get clearer the longer you spend listening.
The topics we cover are:
- What to watch for in Godzone starting this Sunday
- Some of the other big races Stuart has competed in
- The keys to performing well at adventure racing, specifically communication and sleep.
- Stuart’s approach to training and preparation
- Improvising and unexpected disciplines
- Notable encounters with animals
- Navigation for adventure racing
Personal updates and introduction runs until 8:20 into the podcast.
