- What a race weekend in Houston! Des and Kara were so happy to be a part of it, including our largest live show yet with 500 people in attendance on Saturday. Thank you to everyone who came out for the show and to Brooks Running and the Houston Marathon team for the hospitality all weekend.
In this episode, Des and Kara give you predictions for the races in Houston, which are even more fun now that we know the actual results. Then, they go behind the scenes of the 2012 Olympic Marathon Trials in Houston, where Des and Kara made the Olympic team together. They walk you through what they were thinking at each point in the race that day and how it felt for Kara to make her second team and Des her first. Note: you will have to watch the RUclips to see the pics that they reference.
We close with a Q&A from the audience (with great audio this time!), and of course, a Top 5. Stay for their big annoucement near the end and for the hilarious banter throughout.

I started listening to this on a podcast and quickly realized I needed to watch it on RUclips so I could see the photos y’all (seriously, no, I don’t talk like this, but….Houston) were talking about. Wish I could’ve been there to see this live but, alas, Japan was calling to me, so I am enjoying this from my hotel room in Kyoto after a delicious bowl of Ramen and a Japanese beer. As usual, I would like to type more, but I’ve been whiskey tasting, and the whiskey is now kicking in. Suntory Royal 15 year is top notch. Cheers!

I love these two!
Super pumped for this one. When people ask me who my favorite runners/inspirations are I just say the 2012 US Olympic team. Never a more iconic bunch than Des, Kara Shalane, Meb and Ryan hall
The walks down memory lane are very cool. Thanks for sharing your memories.
Last podcast: Kara : one thing I wanna leave behind in 2025 is weather. First thing she talks about in Houston is the weather they had on their race.😂
Pod on the road?
Minnesota please! Kara, you know you want to. We could re-unite the Minnesota Avengers: Kara, Carrie, and Dakota.
That would be amazing 🌊
There’s no such thing as bad weather, just soft people.
