On Thursday May 12, 2022, adventurer, hiker and former golf coach, Marci Kornegay, began the Pacific Crest Trail northbound. The 2,650 mile trail begins at the Mexican border and ends on the Canadian border in Washington State some four months later.
On this exclusive podcast series Marci will be sharing her journey, beginning with the highs and lows, literally, of traversing the mountains in the California desert, encountering a few rattlesnakes and an abundance of lizards, hummingbirds and a few other hikers. Marci tells us how her body is adjusting to the heat, staying hydrated, nursing foot blisters and negotiating 6000ft ascents. Chris Stafford caught up with Marci at mile marker 180 when she stopped to meet the Mayor of Idyllwild, CA, eat some cake and take care of a few essential chores after getting a good night’s sleep.

Marci Kornegay chats with Chris Stafford about the bike ride they did together when they took on the Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail from Point Lookout State Park in Maryland, on the Chesapeake Bay, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania - a total of 427 miles over eight days. Marci, 42, and Chris, 70, combined their athletic backgrounds and adventure seeking spirits to take on their first long distance cycling challenge. The ride would involve two days on the road in southern Maryland to reach Washington, DC. From there they joined the Columbus & Ohio Canal Path (C&O) that runs from Georgetown, DC to Cumberland, MD, arriving three days later. it is there that the Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) begins and runs over the Allegheny Mountains reaching 2392 feet at the Eastern Continental Divide, shortly after crossing the Mason Dixon Line, arriving in downtown Pittsburgh, PA. It was an epic adventure for them both, not knowing what was around every corner along the way, and where some situations would mean facing real fears head-on. Marci takes on the role of host as she interviews Chris about the trip, what it felt like to take on such a big challenge, why she did it, what she learned from it, including her fear of heights, and what advice she would have for other women to dare to be bold.

Marci and Chris were also raising money to feed Ukrainian refugees via World Central Kitchen. Visit https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/RidingforUkraine to donate.

The topic this week is inflammation as Kirstin describes the key drivers of inflammation and how to determine if they are holding you back from performing. There are many common causes that most people ignore or don't think is an issue until they end up with injuries and illnesses that prevent them from being able to race or be competitive. With the triathlon season starting up for many, it's a great time to do a review, and also a reminder of what to look out for so that you can reduce inflammation and carry on performing.
