This is a Sandy Boy Productions podcast. Hey friends, welcome to all have another podcast with Lindsay Hine.

I'm your host, Lindsay.

Thank you for being here today.

Happy summer.

I am so excited to welcome Rachel and Trekken to the podcast today.

She is the 2025 Kokadona 250 champion.

She ran a course record, 63 hours, 58 minutes, and 15 seconds this year.

Fun fact, she also won Kokadona 250 last year in 2024.

So she is the two-time champion of this race.

She specializes in the ultramarathon distance, 100-mile-plus races.

She's been called the Queen of Kocodona.

She was the first person to win this race twice, back-to-back.

She did break that course record record and she was the first female

to break 70 hours in the race. Another fact about this race is not only did she win, she was fourth

overall. So she was first female fourth overall. And if you compare that to last year, she was first female 11th overall,

taking 10 hours off her time. Wow. So wild. In this episode, we learn about Rachel's life and what

brought her to this place. She lives in Colorado. She's a physical therapist. and I love her energy, passion, and enthusiasm for

the sport, the trails, taking great care of them, and so much more. Honestly, it's so cool to be

able to interview people all the way from 100 meter sprinters to people like Rachel who run 250 plus miles in one race.

That is wild.

Running is such a cool sport.
