This week we are joined by long time Tactic community member, Alexis Croucher, who has an incredible story of self discovery and evolution throughout her adult years. She's a Gen X lez who came out late in life due to... well, the times. And Catholic school.

There is a repeating story line in this episode. Hardship ➡️ learning ➡️ forgiveness ➡️ hard work ➡️ happiness.

We are grateful for Alexis and her openness with us both in her work with us and in this sharing! Enjoy!

Meredith JUST completed the Leadville Trail 100 MTB 104 mile mountain bike race in Leadville Colorado. If you think this is a story of success and the power of planning, think again. Leadville is known for its... unknowns. And there were plenty of those.

This conversation explores the entire experience of this monumental race through the lens of a very good amateur rider doing her first ever Leadville 100.

What makes someone choose Leadville? What makes it so hard? How does it compare to a race like Unbound? And what were the biggest lessons? All of those questions will be answered and more in this candid, open, and detailed conversation.

We hope you enjoy!
