In this week's episode, we're celebrating a HUGE weekend for Elena, who finished sixth at the Kodiak 100K and earned herself another ticket to UTMB! We dive into the full race recap, from the somewhat unconventional approach to training that got her to the starting line to the highs, lows, and mental strategies that carried her through over 62 miles of hilly terrain. Elena shares how taking the pressure off training helped her feel more curious about toeing the line, why years of experience matter more than any single training block, and how rebuilding her "performance bubble" helped her regain trust in her body. We also talk about racing your own race, staying flexible with fueling and pacing, and why showing up a little undercooked is way better than showing up overcooked. It's a fun one with plenty to celebrate and lots of lessons for endurance athletes of all levels. Check it out!
