Episode 68: Black Canyon 100km, the importance of fueling, and joyful racing with Becca Windell
In this episode, Corrine, Keely, and Hillary deep dive into the Black Canyon races. Keely dives into her first race of 2024 and how to ride with the punches and benefit from early season races. She also talks through her fueling and how increasing the amount of carbohydrates she consumed early on helped her to rally later in the race. Then they interview Becca Windell, who most recently secured her golden ticket at the Black Canyons 100km placing 2nd place female after a hard fought race. She is also a PhD student at Colorado State University in the Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology department and co-founder of the Home Range Wildlife Research Non-profit that does research, training, and community science outreach in the Methow valley on the east side of the North Cascades. We talk about her journey into running, eating disorder history in competitive cycling, the importance of fueling on life and performance, and finally, she talks us through her race at the Black Canyons 100km race. We hope you enjoy this as much as we did!
