Brant Bahler is an amazing father and human that I met at Worlds Toughest Mudder 2023. Brant completed 90 miles, finishing 7th overall in a field of 700+ racers and to top it off, this was his first Worlds Toughest Mudder race.
Brant competed in sports growing up and was a D1 pole-vaulter at the University of Indiana. This led him to challenge himself in triathlons, Ironman's, Spartan races that include Beasts and Ultras and finally, Worlds Toughest Mudder.
I connected to Brant because of his positive and determined mindset and his story of what he faced in the past year. In 2023, Brant and his family lost several life long pets and his wife of 15 years, Karen after an 8 year battle with Breast Cancer….yet he continued to push himself mentally and physically to be an amazing father of his 3 kids, Hailey 18, Jackson 11, Leo 9, and continued to crush his goal of competing in Worlds Toughest Mudder.
I highly recommend listening to this episode and hearing from someone that has had everything throw at him and yet continues to push forward with a positive outlook on life.
