This post gave me a good laugh. While it might have been embarrassing to have a technical glitch, it was hardly a big time botch up. If you think that was a big-time botch up, you clearly have lead a sheltered life. While I’m sure all of us would’ve liked to have seen your smiling face, the work-around worked and the information provided was excellent. Looking forward to the next installment, video or not.
Wendy, I assumed you did this to make me feel more comfortable as I bumbled around on Substack! ;) Very clever of you really. It was my first time on Substack and obviously also my first Substack Live. I went from trying to be a paid subscriber on my Substack phone app - nope. Maybe I need to login on my computer? Wait, there's no password for my Substack account? What the heck? OK, some Googling and I got into Substack on the computer. No, can't join there. Maybe your website? Hmmm, I don't think so. Maybe through a link in your newsletter email? Bingo! On to the Live discussion. Wait, the screen is blank... did I screw this up? No, wait... there is Anne Marie and tah dah! There is Wendy on the landline! We are all learning together and I am so grateful you are doing this. Great info and, more importantly, encouragement and inspiration for those of us chasing better fitness and adventure in our extra-busy middle-aged lives! Onward and upward!
Well your note here made me both laugh and feel a lot better about my own fumbling. That's the only way through to the other side. Thanks for sharing your story, being a subscriber — and also for sticking with it to find us live!
I appreciate this post a lot! Because of NOT TOO LATE, I intentionally reflect after each Spartan race as to what I learned (e.g., don’t spend time fooling with your gloves and miss a turn, necessitating some back tracking- I won’t do that again!). The ability to arm your arsenal with moments experienced in real time to refine one’s future practice is indeed key to growth, especially in middle age when we can have a tendency to get complacent. Again, thank you for your book and sharing your wisdom- it has been invaluable for me!
I've been there with the gloves and missing a turn! You're excelling in your Spartan journey. Thank you for continuing to report back what you learn. And I am glad NOT TOO LATE has been a good companion guide.

Can you call my mother and tell her this? I may never hear the end of it. You're kind. Thanks Marshall.
I’m sure if can mollify her if you send her a handwritten (cursive w/fountain pen) note thanking her for her concern.
That would take a while to make it legible. But worth a shot.
