#80 - Miika Kirmula: The Winning Kirmula

About this episode

Miika Kirmula discusses his recent Tiomila victory and shares personal stories about his career and experiences.

Episode 80 is a special one: Miika Kirmula (fresh Tiomila winner with Kalevan Rasti) joins Tim and Magnus for a proper chat about his career, fishing stories, changing hairstyles, his Finnish nickname, injuries, and what it really takes to win the big relay. Ralph crashes the recording straight after his sprint race (his apartment now fully cling-filmed by the Bækkelaget juniors in classic brain-rot revenge) and we get the usual outfit roasts, standing-desk chaos, and extended apology section.
