Katie Mazzia and I met at the Flyathlon many years ago and became fast friends. She is much more of a runner than I, and she recently completed her first Troutwoman, which included 26.2 miles of running, 3000 feet of elevation gain, four species of fish, and a 12% beer in under 12 hours. In this episode, she told me the story of her Troutwoman completion, how she prepared for it, and what she usually brings on her fishing trail runs.

This was our first saltwater experience, and we had a blast chasing bonefish, tarpon, permit, barracuda, and plenty of other fish from a skiff and wading the flats on the Turneffe Atoll.
