From Wheelchair to Death Race – Yvette Ahern | LotDR Episode 016

  • February 27, 2020
  • Tony Matesi

Welcome to the Legend of the Death Race Podcast, where you’ll hear the legends of past Death Racers, new and old.

In the sixteenth episode of the podcast, I connect with Yvette Ahern, an incredible human who defied the limitations set by her doctors after a motorcycle accident in 2012 which left her in a wheelchair for a month. Through a dedicated practice of yoga and cycling, she recovered and soon found Spartan Race. When the Death Race finally returned Yvette she decided to sign up and shed the idea that she was “fragile” once and for all. Tune in to Yvette’s legend to hear her incredible journey from wheelchair to Death Race.

Enjoy the show and thank you for listening!

Somewhere along the way, masculinity got hijacked.

It was whittled down to something hollow. Loud. Fragile. A checklist of traits that have more to do with fear than strength.
Grow a beard. Listen to a Joe Rogan podcast. Lift heavy things. Never cry. Dominate the room. Talk over people. Never, ever admit weakness.
