Summary

Let the history books show, Roger Brown is an "Unbound 200 finisher"! I don't know if anyone completed the 206 mile Unbound race on less training than Roger, but I sure don't know anyone who accomplished what he did on as little training as he did. Roger Brown is my friend, a co-owner and co-founder of UnTapped, he's a pillar of the Richmond, Vermont community, father of four, and a man who's always on the go... to the next kids' practice. He somehow fit in the time to ride for and "train" for Unbound and has the stories to tell. Visit untapped.cc for information on saving 15% your next UnTapped purchase.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome back to King of the Ride podcast. I am Ted King. I am your host and I am very
0:10.6	excited for this episode. You've heard me say that before that I'm excited for our guest,
0:17.3	excited for this episode. It is a true statement every single time. Today's episode is a really
0:23.4	cool one in that I'm not only introducing our guest, I'm introducing a very good friend.
0:29.1	Frankly, it could be argued that our guest is one of the big reasons why Laura and I moved

0:39.8	Roger, my friend, one of the co-owners and co-founders of Untapped, the sports
0:44.8	nutrition company, which the two of us share ownership, along with Roger's brother Doug
0:49.1	and Andrew Gardner.
0:51.9	Roger is a father of four young kids, ages three, twin seven-year-olds and a nine-year-old.
0:58.7	Roger comes from the dynasty Cochran Ski family.
1:01.7	His mother is the first American male or female to win a World Cup ski title.
1:06.5	His mother, Maryland, is someone who I love to have on this show.
1:10.4	Roger skied Division I back in college two decades ago and joined the U.S. national team soon after that, also in the early 2000s.
1:20.4	More recently, Roger is forever coaching his kids baseball, tee ball, ski leagues.
1:26.8	He's been on our town select board. He recently hopped
1:29.7	aboard the volunteer fire department. My point in giving you these details is that he's a very,
1:35.6	very busy person and he somehow fit in 45 minutes of riding, let's say, every other day or so,
1:42.4	to train for and race the 2021 Unbound.
1:47.7	For example, once we got to Kansas, Roger suddenly realized that he had a little bit of extra time
1:53.8	than he was away from home. So two days before the race, he went on a nearly two-hour bike ride,
