   Bend Racing's Legends: The Magnificent Andrea Anderson

   Andrea Anderson is a member of Team This Ability and has been on my radar since her she stood at the start line of the first Expedition Oregon back in 2018. Initially it was her timidness that I took notice of, expecting her to not last long at the pointy edge of the sport - where risk, suffering, speed, skill, and tenacity are all required...and she seemed to be lacking several of those things. But her tenacity was fierce, and over the past decade she has transformed into one of the most consistent racers on the continent - from impressive solo performances to multiple expedition podiums. But what has impressed me most is her attitude and thoughtfulness around risk. Legend.

   The Magnificent Andrea Anderson - Legend

   We've been silently taking notice of Andrea (and her team This Ability) over the last decade, and become more and more impressed. And I'll be honest - in those early days she was a timid racer - but what she has grown into is a force. As an athlete, teammate, mother, and philosopher - Andrea has slowly become a legend to this sport. And it was not any single action or feat that put her there - it was through years of putting herself into challenging places over and over again and becoming stronger each time. At 53 years old - she is an inspiration. We talk about her second attempt (success!) at the Magnificent Race in NZ, and some real confrontation of fears in racing and life.
