What do wild horses, 200-mile relays, and ketchup-covered chips have in common? Mandy Mullen. In this episode of Fiery Embers from Run Tri Bike, host Jason Bahamundi brings listeners a laugh-out-loud conversation with the Wild West Relay race director and founder of Run Windsor.
Set against Colorado’s wild terrain, this episode goes beyond splits and pace charts—it’s about community, creativity, and the chaos that makes endurance sports unforgettable. Mandy shares hilarious behind-the-scenes stories, including moose sightings on the course, glamping at ultra events, and even turning her home into race gear HQ. Plus, Jason’s signature offbeat questions lead to priceless moments—like Mandy’s go-to snack (Costco sea salt chips with ketchup) and her wild west movie hot takes.
This podcast is for endurance athletes, race directors, and anyone who believes racing should be fun first. Whether you’re chasing PRs or just chasing a moose mid-run, Fiery Embers lights up the side of running we all love most: the stories.
