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.
