About this episode

Robert Moeller, Veteran Navy SEAL, discusses competing in the first-ever Specter Series event, a skydive, swim, and 100-mile run. In Part 1, he talks about becoming a SEAL (4:06), including BUD/S training (6:38), Hell Week (10:30), his first mission (18:42), and the Rip Its Challenge and other forms of friendly hazing (25:18), as well as his first experience with WHOOP ( 29:24), why he believes it can help the military (32:55), how it enabled him to train smarter (39:47) and sleep better (43:03), plus his expectations (51:40) and prediction (59:47) two days prior to the competition. In Part 2, he recaps the event (1:03:08) and its most difficult moments (1:10:05), analyzes what he saw in his WHOOP data (1:23:51) and what his sleep (1:25:42) and recovery (1:28:07) were like afterwards, then reveals what they'll do to somehow take things up a notch for the second Specter Series event in 2019 (1:31:26).
