#134 | Alicia Jenkins - DIY Bigfoot 200, A 200 Mile Ultra Run Between Volcanoes
Alicia Jenkins ran a DIY 200-mile ultra marathon around and between sleeping volcanoes. Covid-19 had caused many disruptions in people's lives and it is interesting how people have adapted. For Alicia, it meant her biggest ultra running goal of the year, the Bigfoot 200, was canceled by destination trail - despite all of Candice's efforts to make it happen in 2020. Some people decided to run the course as an unofficial ultra-marathon where there are no records being officially kept nor is there any support from the many volunteers and staff required to put on a trail race. The logistics fall on the runner and their friends. For someone as competitive as Alicia, it was rad to hear her experience with a change of pace and focus. I emphasize the predicament that had her experiencing something very different from her normal dynamics when running. With the right mindset, having experiences beyond what we're used to is always an opportunity to learn and grow. To learn more about Alicia check her out on Instagram @leasha
