When challenges begin to compound, do you second guess your mission or personal abilities? When is it time to throw in the towel and when should we keep pushing forward? In this candid episode, Sally and Eddie break down the Bigfoot 200 race- an event that took place just 17 days after Sally crossed the finish line of Tahoe 220. Sally takes the listener into the mindset that's helped her overcome again and again while reminding us that's it's okay to feel weak. Sometimes the greatest lessons are learned when we relinquish our expectations and we do the best with what we have to give in the moment.
