Shoutout to our new channel member Wendall Brown!
Today’s guest is a seasoned vanlifer, through hiker, and bikepacker who shares her journey from van life and sailing dreams to conquering some of the toughest endurance events. We dive into life on the road, how Starlink enables remote work and race coverage, and the evolution of ultra-distance running events like Cocodona and the Arizona Monster 300. Lindsay opens up about the realities of gender identity in the endurance community and how that intersects with racing, community, and representation.
We also reflect on the Stagecoach Line 200 Duathlon — a rugged self-supported challenge from Flagstaff to Tusayan by bike, then back again on foot — and how it reshaped both our views on goal-setting, recovery, and what makes these adventures meaningful. Expect insights on resilience, problem-solving, gear choices, logistics, and the personal evolution that comes with pushing long distances. I'd like to welcome to the podcast Lindsay Shepard.
