In this hilarious episode of Fiery Embers from Run Tri Bike, host Jason Bahamundi chats with three members of Team Random—Liz, Ryan, and Mandy—who ran 339 miles across Iowa as part of Relay Iowa. What makes their story unique? They didn’t meet at a local run club or training group. They met on TikTok.
With zero relay experience but plenty of internet chemistry, this trio took on the multi-day event with nothing but trust, laughter, and a love for endurance chaos. From medical mishaps—including ruptured eardrums and severe constipation—to wondering where to got when race signs were pulled for being behind pace, the challenges were real. But so were the personal records, gas station pizza, and deep emotional finish line moments.
This isn’t a podcast about pace. It’s about people. Fiery Embers brings you the human side of endurance sports, where connection, absurdity, and inspiration collide.
Whether you're a runner, TikTok fan, or someone who just loves a good story, this episode will make you laugh, cry, and maybe sign up for your own adventure.
