#106: Stories from the TGNYThis year four Floridians traveled to New York for the Great New York 100 Mile Exposition, also known as TGNY. Mark Cudak, Luis Cocco, Amy Rae, and Diane Romero-Lopez all got those belt buckles! The TGNY starts in Times Square and goes through Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Rockaway Beach, Coney Island, and the Brooklyn Bridge back to Manhattan and Times Square. Amy Rae, the Banana Champ, she placed third overall for the females with a time of 23:04:30! She's done races like the Trident, the Sand Spur, the Barkley Fall Classic, the Keys 100, and the Pinhoti 100. |

Three badass women of ultra form an experts panel and discuss issues that females deal with at ultramarathons, physically and emotionally. Amy Bukszpan, Lulu Yun Pelz, and Melinda Hooper join me for a nice chat. This turned out to be an eye-opening thing for me. If you know me, you know I am all about this awesome community we have, and growing it, not turning people off. So some of the simple things discussed in how we treat each other can make a difference, also some of the information helps us as men understand that ladies have some challenges that we don't have to face. It says female issues, but I promise it is worthy of a listen to the male runners out there to learn how to be more inclusive and respectful.
