About this episode
Katie Asmuth and Leah Yingling reflect on the memorable moments and lessons from the Western States 100 race.
Western States delivered one of the most memorable weekends in the race's history, and Katie Asmuth and Leah Yingling are still processing everything they witnessed. From Jenn Lichter's remarkable course record in her 100-mile debut to the incredible depth of both the women's and men's fields, they reflect on the performances that stood out, the lessons learned from pacing and crewing, and why this year's race may have changed how they think about racing 100 milers. They also share behind-the-scenes stories from the course, discuss what surprised them most, and look ahead to the rest of the mountain racing season.
