afro-latina runner transrockies
 
Sarah and Amanda chat with Adalgisa “Lisa” Rivera, an Afro-Latina runner from NYC who just tackled the TransRockies Run. As part of our Run in Her Shoes series, Lisa details this “transformative” experience, including:
 
-being one of ~20 BIPOC participants in the “white space”; 
-the therapeutic work she did pre-race to face her fears and trepidation; 
-the steep learning curve of switching from concrete to trail; and,
-the crucial importance of establishing “whys” before a big race.
 
Kicking off a Colorado theme, co-host Amanda shares a few adventures in the Rocky Mountain State after just moving there from Maryland. The conversation with Lisa commences at 14:23.
