Episode 4. Graham (Bushy) Muir

Wez Parkes Season 1 Episode 4

"Bushy" has compiled an impressive resume of finishing endurance cycling events, including multi-day icons such as Iditarod and Fatpusuit. Originally from New Zealand, Graham now operates an Athletic Training Center out of Steamboat Springs, Colorado, Manic Training.
In this episode he shares some of the wisdom, knowledge and tradition he has accumulated from over ten years of taking on the challenges this once obscure and extreme sport exposes its competitors to, coloring it with stories and anecdotes from his many years of travel while playing and coaching around the World in the sport of Rugby.
Out of all of the things one might think it is necessary to have, apart from a unique set of skills to cope with extremes of cold, distance, sleep deprivation and loneliness, what really shines out from this conversation is how much gratitude he has for his life, family and his friends.
His Iditarod finish describes a journey by Bike through 1000 miles of the Alaskan wilderness is not an achievement many can boast. Bushy describes in detail how there can be nothing left to chance and that while a highlight, it's simply a line in a book that he's continuing to write on a daily basis by living his mantra "don't waste a day"!
