#431: Racing in Real Life During the Pandemic (Really!)

Sarah and Katie are regaled by tales from three women runners who participated in races—a 70.3 triathlon, a marathon, and a 10K—this summer during the pandemic. Learn: -what it feels like to, once again (finally!), push in pursuit of a finish line; -that “tee times” aren’t just for golf anymore; -why you might want to practice your bottle-opening skills on training runs; -what precautions race organizers are (and aren’t) taking to keep participants safe; and, -the spirit-lifting, optimism-affirming rush of a race. The host-duo talks school schedules—and the surprising joy of chauffering kids—in the intro. The first guest (Coach Jen Harrison) hops on 12:31.   When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.
