Episode 13 – Lindsay Webster – Obstacle Racing Champion, Foodie & All-Around Athlete

Posted on September 20, 2016 by Margaret Schlachter

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.
