In this episode, I recap my recent 100 mile ultra marathon attempt. I did not complete the race-- I made it 80 miles. I recap race day logistics, key events during the race, and why I didn't finish it. While it's difficult to share your failures, I believe authenticity and realness are key cornerstones for the Real Conversations podcast.

Thank you to everyone who supported, crewed, and paced-- y'all are the best.
