The story of Nike vs Adidas - TSP 5.0

If you thought my experience racing The Speed Project 4.0 was intense, wait till you hear this one.

A year after running myself into the hospital with heat exhaustion, I returned to captain the team from Nike to face off against team Adidas. The rivalry was understated but assumed. Both teams were fully committed, financially flush, and willing to take risks for victory.

But it’s just a relay, right? What could go wrong?

Listen to find out how wild this one was.
