Episode 51: Western States Deep Dive

Keely and Corrine chat about all of the races that happened over the weekend and recent news around maternal health and women's sports. Then they deep dive into the Western States 100 and how it played out for Keely. Keely talks about her training leading up to the race, how she felt going in, and how she channeled calmness. She talks us through the race, discussing the insane snow, amazing competition, attempting to run her own race, and troubleshooting on the fly. Then we talk through her accidental trip at mile 80 that ended in a rather chaotic event, where she dislocated her shoulder, struggled to get it back in, and ultimately dropped from the race. We discuss how hard DNFs are, even when they make sense, and her plans for the future.
