This week on Girls Gone Gravel Kathryn and Kristi chat with ultra-runner and cyclist Hillary Allen. A self-proclaimed “science nerd,” Hillary took up running in graduate school as a stress reliever while working towards her PhD in neuroscience and physiology. She quickly excelled in the sport and found her way to the top of the ultra running world. In 2017 she was number one in the World Sky Running Series Ultra Division, earning herself the nickname Hillygoat. Later that year Hillary had a major accident during a race, falling over 150ft and breaking 14 bones. Her doctors told her she would never run again, but Hillary was not willing to accept this fate. She talks about her long and winding road to recovery, and how she found cycling along the way as a means to build her body back into a stronger runner. Hillary tells us how she used these tough moments to redefine strength and to find learning opportunities from hard times.

You can learn more about Hillary, and find her book “Out and Back: A Runner’s Story of Survival Against All Odds” on her website at www.hillaryallen.com

**REBROADCAST** #166 Sea of Blue

This week on the show Alyssa and Haley chat with rookie professional triathlete Clarice Lorenzini. Clarice qualified for her pro card at Ironman Florida in 2020 and raced her first race as a professional at Ironman Tulsa this spring. After a not-so-perfect start to the race, she tells us how she dug deep to get through the tough bike course and run her way through the field to an impressive 11th place finish. 

Clarice identifies as Filipino-American, and is just the second ever female professional that is Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI). She speaks about how her upbringing influenced her training and pursuit of professional triathlon, and tells us why it is important to her to use her platform to be a role model for young girls in the AIPI community. Clarice also gives suggestions on how we can be better allies to support the AAPI community, both in sport and in our broader communities. 

Clarice lives in Virginia Beach, and will be racing Rev 3 Williamsburg this coming weekend. She gives us her local scoop on not just the race course, but also her favorite spots to visit, shop, and grab a sandwich in Williamsburg. 

Haley and Alyssa will both be racing Ironman Coeur D’Alene this Sunday! Cheer them on and check out all of the action on Facebook live AND be sure to check out our Instagram page, as our Feisty Community Innovator Jamila will be on the ground in CDA watching all the action unfold.

On this week’s show Alyssa and Haley welcome back triathlete and Olympian, Taylor Knibb. Taylor, along with her teammates, recently won a silver medal in the triathlon mixed team relay at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. She tells us about her Olympic experience in both the team and individual events, what she did in the days between the two events, and how she felt about her Olympic debut.

Taylor wasted no time jumping back into racing, competing at Boulder 70.3 the weekend after The Games, and finishing a very impressive second place in her first ever 70.3 race. She will be keeping her race streak going at WTS races in Montreal and Edmonton over the next two weekends and then heading to Europe for more action. Along with her action-packed upcoming schedule, Taylor talks about a few of her long term goals in the sport and where she hopes to be heading in the future.
