Kia ora e te whānau.Tessa Chesser charges. An athlete from a super competitive background playing soccer to now a top-flight trail runner who had a huge 2021 placing in the top 10 at Canyons 100k and taking out third at Javelina Jundred Mile to earn a Golden Ticket to the 2022 Western States. A foot injury laid her low for the big dance even though she lined up at Olympic Valley. This conversation is a cracker, with insights on performance, mindset, and how we can put ourselves next to the most highly disciplined human athletes, but we pale in comparison to the stoke and pure get-after-it-ness of a two-year-old chocolate labrador. Refreshing, candid, and wise, Tessa Chesser is one trail running human being to keep an eye on in the coming years. Enjoy.
