Summary
Sarah and Katie are regaled by tales from three women runners who participated in races—a 70.3 triathlon, a marathon, and a 10K—this summer during the pandemic. Learn:
- -what it feels like to, once again (finally!), push in pursuit of a finish line;
- -that “tee times” aren’t just for golf anymore;
- -why you might want to practice your bottle-opening skills on training runs;
- -what precautions race organizers are (and aren’t) taking to keep participants safe; and,
- -the spirit-lifting, optimism-affirming rush of a race.
The host-duo talks school schedules—and the surprising joy of chauffering kids—in the intro. The first guest (Coach Jen Harrison) hops on 12:31.

| 0:14.6 | Kady Snevice. Hello, Katie. |
| 0:16.7 | Hello, Sarah, how's it going? Good, your house sounds strangely empty today. |
| 0:22.0 | Oh my gosh, I mean I almost feel guilty about how happy I am that all three of my kids and my husband, God bless him too. |
| 0:30.0 | The fourth child. |
| 0:31.0 | Exactly. |
| 0:32.0 | Well, Charlie, it's a debate between my dog and Dan which one is the fourth child. Exactly. Well, Charlie, it's a debate between my dog and Dan which one is the fourth child. |
| 0:35.8 | Are all gone today. It's so quiet. No one's asking me for snacks or food or drinks or help me get on this I mean everything so yes it is a very |

| 1:24.0 | So, I mean, we all have a lot of opinions about this and I won't get into it, |

| 1:40.3 | in November and have them come back in February whenever. Right, right? Like take a |
| 1:46.8 | huge massive holiday break. Yes. I mean and also please in Oregon if we had big white event tents we could have |
