Tahoe 200: Stone Cold Resolve & Rambo’s Reclamation

In this episode, we dive into the grit, strategy, and soul of the 2025 Tahoe 200.

Isaac “Stone Cold Trail Killer” Wait returns for his fifth appearance on the podcast and digs into a remarkable performance, finishing in 81:14:21, a full six hours faster than his 2023 time. He walks us through how the race unfolded, how his strategy evolved, what role his crew played, and the key moments that defined the experience.

Ryan “I’m the Real Rambo” Ramsby opens up about a tough race day. After battling dehydration and stomach issues due to the high elevation, he made the tough decision to step off the course. But instead of walking away, he jumped into the crew and pace Isaac for 40+ miles—reclaiming the weekend with purpose, presence, and trail brotherhood. It was Father’s Day weekend, and what could have been disappointment turned into something deeply meaningful. Ryan, in his fourth time on the podcast, shares the tough side of ultras so others can benefit from his experience.

Whether you're chasing your first 200 or recovering from a DNF, this episode is full of insight, resilience, and redemption on the trails.
