Big shout out to Evan Jones for stepping in to finally edit this episode after spending months in the can.
Joe is at the cabin. Adam just did a beer mile. Pat is mid-move. Ideal recording circumstances all around.
Joe and Adam are joined by the original host and creator of The Talent Graveyard, Mark Rapacz, as well as instrumental background laugher, Chris Coffey. Adam dips his toes into trying to spend more time on editing, and Joe brings the heat, as always.
Joe and Adam add the final Keenan to the Talent Graveyard collection. Joined by JK, the guys discuss IPAs, the recent Strava art contest, and a bit of Collegeville's storied history.
In this episode we talk to team captain, Joe Papin. I don't think we need an intro.
In this episode we talk to future engineer, world traveler, and all around team kinda guy, Charlie Sawyer. Hailing from Central High and landing behind the Pine Curtain at St. John's, Charlie tells how easy it was to freak out fellow suburban/yuppie teammates with tales of his inner-city life ... in Mac/Grove. While at St. John's, he reveals the mystery behind what it takes to earn the loftiest of all honorifics, the "Team Kind of Guy" award. We are then whisked away to China where Charlie first gets a taste of travel, a pursuit he follows down to Santiago, Chile. Returning home from abroad, he weighs two options for his future. Enjoy.
In this episode we talk to one Collegeville's original team members, Tim Hamill. He's part of the legacy team that helped usher in Collegeville's early years of success. In Act I, we talk about Tim's early days running and living just outside Milwaukee up until his move to Stout, where he competed successfully in the highly-competitive WIAC. In Act II, Tim talks about his post-collegiate ambitions in the steeple chase, doing what he could to break the nine minute barrier, an ambition that highlights the struggles for a talented runner training and racing with little support.
In this episode, we talk to Kelly Fermoyle who spills the details on what it takes to become a highly competitive runner on a very talented collegiate team. Without giving too much away, it involves quitting skiing, training over the summer, and realizing that golf isn't so much a sport played by athletes as a glorified yard game, like lawn darts or bocce ball, played by eight year olds and republicans. In Act I, we learn about the early days of Kelly's training, a lot of which involved inflated mileage along our newly coveted Sibley trail. In Act II, we learn about Kelly's decision to attend SJU, a school that wasn't on his radar. He picks up where Chris Erichsen left off, completing the brief history of this highly talented team. In the final minutes we get the long awaited Get 'N Gear performance results.
In this super-sized episode, our brave host enters the lion's den, barely surviving an hours long interview between Co-Champions Chris Erichsen and Christopher Coffey. In Act I, Coffey uses misdirection, interruption, and head-shaking belly laughs to thwart Erichsen's every effort to relay a coherent narrative of his life as an elite runner. Despite Coffey's malicious attempts to derail the conversation, Erichsen manages to convey his early years running in SmallTown, Minnesota, slowly building a team of five guys into a regional powerhouse. In Act II, Erichsen tells about his years working under the tutelage of Coach Miles--not rigorously training perse, but gaining life-affirming skills nonetheless on the SJU trails and track with a snow blower and hedge clippers. In the wee minutes, Erichsen spills the details on his Olympic Trials debut and tells how a runner of his magnitude ended up on a team of such ill repute.
