They talk about: Abby's evolution through a decade in the sport How she found her footing in ultras and her relationship with the 100-mile distance And, of course, the long road and many setbacks before last year's win What does it mean to care deeply, race boldly, and keep showing up? There's a vulnerability to racing at the highest level and a tension women often face between being competitive and being perceived as too much.
