Welcome back to the Multifaceted Athlete podcast! After a three-month break, we jump straight into Erin's first time 100-mile ultramarathon experience at the Oregon Cascades 100, and Audrey’s first time pacing at a 100!

Erin's adventure is packed with hilarious toddler moments, mental battles, and even hallucinations of a six-pack of beer!

We dig into the training, the sacrifices made, the day off, and the recovery time needed for such a feat.

Plus, discover the importance of community, dealing with challenges like asthma, and whether Erin's ultra-racing shoes are retired or ready for more. It’s an emotional rollercoaster filled with perseverance, laughter, and heartfelt stories!
