| 1:17.8 | Carrie. So we probably, this, our episode here won't probably air for a couple weeks, so, but we need to know why you're in Minneapolis, because we're getting ready to run on the River Road, downtown Minneapolis. So what brought you to town? |
| 2:52.8 | Yeah, so last night I ran that TC one mile. Yeah. I haven't been here in a few years, so it was nice to come back and experience the new course, and it's always such awesome hospitality by the Twin Cities and Motion crew. Yeah. So you had a good race. I mean, all of a sudden you came around the corner and I was thinking it was yours and then... I was thinking that too. I know you actually took a look over your left. I did. I was getting a little tight. I wanted to do that. I was like, look over your right, although I love Emily as well. But you guys had a tight battle to the finish. So you ended up finishing second. Yes. And how are the legs today? Our legs are fine, just a little sleepy. Yeah. Hard to sleep after a big race, he said. Yes. Yeah, I always have a little bit of, well, not a little bit. I always have a lot of coffee. And that plus adrenaline at 8 o'clock at night makes it hard to sleep. Yeah. Hopefully I'll sneak in a nap on the plane before I get home. All right. So my listeners might not know you because a lot of them are my mom's friends from back home. But they're getting to know the awesome elites, you know, from around the country. But we got to know a little bit about Sarabon. So you're a mommy of three. Can we go on here? One more. I'm sorry. That's good. I'm glad you turned. So, Mommy of three. Yes. You're a realtor. Yes. Your husband was an awesome runner, not running anymore. Now he is very reluctantly coaching me. Oh, he is coaching you. Yeah. Oh, cool. Just for the last few months. It's been fun. Okay. So let's talk about Brent a little bit. We just kind of gave us the history of being that elite athlete, but now he's a retired father of three girls. Did he ever |
| 3:01.4 | imagine that? No, probably not. Poor guy. He does it really well, though. Yeah. Seems like it. I've seen his makeup |
| 3:10.4 | tutorials. Yeah. Isn't that the best? He does a really good job and he makes it much easier |
| 3:17.4 | to travel for races. Yeah. So, well, you're okay, so you are full-time realtor and basically |
| 3:24.0 | full-time athlete. I mean, you're training a lot so you are full-time realtor and basically full-time athlete. |
| 3:26.0 | I mean, you're training a lot up to 80, 90-mile weeks running the 1,500 and road races and things. |
