They Did Mondo Dirty, A Hyrox Poop Controversy And Aisha's One-Photo Rule For Pro Athletes On Hinge
<p>Eric Jenkins and Aisha Praught-Leer are back for a Monday edition of Off the Rails (sorry for the one-day delay). Aisha is fresh off her broadcast debut on the Fifth Avenue Mile, Eric is packing for London and there's a full weekend of World Ultimate to unpack.</p><p>Discussed in this episode:</p><p>– <strong>Aisha's big girl broadcast:</strong> Her first capital-J-O-B TV gig on the Fifth Avenue Mile stream alongside Carrie Tollefson. 10,000 buttons in the truck, 98% humidity, no hair and makeup, and a Monica Geller hair situation that grew an inch every 15 minutes. Self-graded an A for effort, B for execution.</p><p>–<strong> Fifth Avenue Mile recap: </strong>Jemma Reekie wins in a course record 4:13.9 for her third Fifth Ave title. Marco Langon takes the men's race over Jake Heyward, Adam Spencer and Stefan Nillessen, then delivers the post-race interview heard around the world — an F-bomb, a shit and an ass on live TV while Ali Feller tries to hold it together. Nobody warned the truck there was a loose cannon coming.</p><p>– <strong>World Ultimate delivered: </strong>A polished first-year event that felt championship-esque — no prelims, straight to the good stuff. Aisha dares to ask whether we even need the 10-day World Championships anymore.</p><p>– <strong>Free Mondo: </strong>His theme song performance did not go well, and it wasn't his fault. Eric presents his PR fixes.</p><p>– <strong>Beers with the boys: </strong>Mondo and Alison dos Santos both had one post-race agenda item.</p><p>–<strong> AI is going to kill us all by 2030</strong></p><p>– <strong>The Hyrox poop incident:</strong> A competitor in China had an accident mid-race and kept going. The venue had to be torn down. Eric may or may not be consulting for Hyrox on a poop rule.</p><p> – <strong>Men's 5000m at World Ultimate: </strong>No pacers, still sub-13. Jakob's best kick in years, sit-and-kick is apparently fine when it's the 5K. Jakob vs. Cole, continued.</p><p> – <strong>Men's 1500m: </strong>Josh Kerr closes in a 1:47 last 800 for what's now a business-as-usual win. Josh Kerr's betting odds had him 13th in a field of 12.</p><p> –<strong> Women's 1500m: </strong>Klaudia Kazimierska runs away from Georgia Hunter Bell in 3:57.55 — breakout star of the year, back-to-back wins over the Diamond League Final and World Ultimate.</p><p> – <strong>Men's 800m: </strong>Marco Arop takes it out honest and it takes a Djamel Sedjati kick from the
