Pre-race Jitters: Doing it Scared

Vane and Caro sit down to talk about the unprecedented summer of women shattering records not just for women ultra trail running and FKT's (Fastest known time) but for overall racing and FKT'S ! Happy Hispanic Heritage for those that still observe and remember us, as it feels like erasure of our people as we not only disappear them but also limit their displacement in space and their opportunities.

We offer some suggestions and leave some questions to be pondered!
