145: Racing across America With Wendy Larsen

Rise and Run

What happens when a world champion hand cyclist tackles one of the most grueling races across the American West? Wendy Larsen joins us to share her incredible journey, detailing the immense physical demands and unique training regimen that propelled her through the 2023 Race Across the West. Wendy's story is one of resilience and inspiration, highlighting her mission to motivate more women to embrace the challenge of racing and push their own boundaries. We'll also touch on her world championship jersey and the documentary following her intense preparations for the Race Across America.
Fresh off a thrilling Disneyland Half Marathon registration, we explore the evolving dynamics of race sign-ups post-pandemic. From the challenges of securing a spot to the potential for tiered pricing in future Run Disney events, our discussion sheds light on how the landscape of race registration has shifted. Plus, we'll share recent race experiences including Kristen's warm half marathon in Charlotte and Dan's rainy 15K on Canada Day, celebrating the camaraderie and triumphs within our running community.
Join us for an episode brimming with inspiration, perseverance, and the joyous spirit of runners supporting each other through every challenge and victory.
