264: Maine Runners of Stone Cat

Your in MAINE now, so you better shape up, lest we get some Gators on you! Chomp! Chomp! Stone Cat is back!! The Crew gets to hang out with four awesome people from Maine! Trail Monsters Running Club founder Ian Parlin tells us what it was like to run Stone Cat 50 Mile back in '07 and what is it like now. We also learn about the no nonsense service ethic of the Trail Monsters, where you cant just sign up, or buy your way in. You earn your claws by trail maintenance, and offering support to others. (support is good). And then if you show some promise, you just might be asked to officially join. Trail Monster Tayna Holbrook shares her stories about the club, as well as how she has learned to cope with an allergic reaction to the cold. The Cultra Crew fights over who gets to use the Epi Pen.

Jake Chambers shares his story of finishing the Stone Cat 50 mile in a race where 50% did not make it to the finish line. He also shares his perspective as a new runner gaining experience and immersing himself in the Trail community.

We finish the episode talking to the absolutely delightful Lila Gaudrault, who finished first overall in the inagural Stone Cat 100K finishing more than 3 hours faster than AFB who was running 50 mile. Lila tells us what it was like to be a XC high school champion as a Sophomore and Junior then step away from XC in order to choose a longer path as she pursues Ultra Running. She is so enthusiastic and eager to take on the challenges that longer distances offer, and we can't wait to watch it happen!

Special Thanks are also given to Patrick Caron and TARC for the efforts put forth to preserve and improve this classic event!
