Today’s guest, Brandi Mueller, is an avid diver and underwater photographer. She’s dived in over 30 countries and works as an instructor for much of the year. Her passion for diving is infectious and her expertise has been featured in dozens of publications all over the world. Recently, she co-authored a book about her experience diving to see an underwater airplane graveyard where 150 American airplanes were dumped at the end of WWII in the lagoon of Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Islands. The haunting pile of flightless planes were surprisingly photogenic and getting the location was half the adventure. Enjoy! The book, now available: The Airplane Graveyard: The Forgotten WWII Warbirds of Kwajalein Atoll www.brandiunderwater.com @brandi_underwaterwww.facebook.com/brandiunderwater Save 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel (@peakrefuel).

The Smith's lead a unique life as it is. Training is a huge focus of much of their time in order to compete in triathlons all over the world. At one of these races, a harmless tube of chapstick would change the focus and fate of the way Matt competes, leading to a truly incredible experience for the couple and a change in purpose, perspective, and in life altogether.

Part 2 Justin Simoni is synonymous with "pure adventure."  This guy's self-powered running, cycling, and climbing trips are mind-bending in difficulty and require unbelievable mental endurance. He's well known for riding a bike to and climbing all of Colorado's 14ers in one fell swoop back in 2014.  However, a few years later, that wasn't enough. This led him to bike to and climb Colorado's highest 100 peaks, nearly doubling the mountains climbed in his 14ers achievement. I hope you enjoy our two-part conversation on adventures and how he makes them happen.  Hope y'all had a Merry Christmas! https://justinsimoni.com/ https://www.instagram.com/longrangerjustin/ https://justinsimoni.com/2017/10/01/tour-of-the-highest-hundred-completed/ Justin wanted to thank these sponsors: Ultimate Direction, Surly Bikes, Colorado Mountain Club, OR, Sierra Designs, and La Sportiva.

Sarah Williams, friend of the Adventure Sports Podcast, and host of the Tough Girl Podcast is back with us today to talk about her 100-day Appalachian Trail thru-hike. Sarah got the bug to thru-hike one of the crown trails after learning of the successful completion on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed. She managed to set herself a goal and piece together what she needed to succeed and succeed she did. Even though she had major concerns about her ability to accomplish this awesome feat in her 100-day timeline, she managed to do it and is here to tell us all about it.
