Candice Burt speaks to us from Moab last fall, where she was race-directing the Moab 240 -- she basically invented the 200 mile trail racing distance. And she described going solo and unsupported on August 29 around Mount Rainier on the Wonderland Trail, which earned her the #3 Fastest Known Time of the Year Award.

"The Wonderland Trail was joyous, painful, and scary all at the same time. It makes it more of an adventure; you're just relying on yourself, and what you have in your pack is all you've got."
