<p>Wieke De Boer is an experienced ultrarunner and backpacker, with a lifelong connection to the Grand Canyon - she's also a mother, a teacher, and my friend; the one who introduced me to running in the canyon and still the only person I've ever done the double crossing with.</p><p>On August 28th, she set out for two nights in the canyon, completing a Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim trip in a familiar place as her first ever solo backpacking trip. On August 29th as she traversed the majority of the R3 route from Bright Angel Campground to the North Rim, and back, she was caught in multiple storms that led to a massive flash flood through Bright Angel Creek - ultimately devastating the area and taking two lives.</p><p><br /></p><p>Her story is nothing short of incredible - in the way she made observations and made decisions, alone in the backcountry, that ultimately saved her life. This is her telling of her history with the sport, the Grand Canyon, and the experiences of that day.</p><p><br /></p><p>Find this episode, and follow all things Women of Distance at: <a href="http://linktr.ee/womenofdistance" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">linktr.ee/womenofdistance</a></p><p><br /></p><p>*Women of Distance is proudly supported by Open Fuel!</p><p>On a mission to provide the quality sports nutrition you need, without the trash and waste you don't - check out their products and their mission at <a href="http://openfuel.co/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">openfuel.co</a></p><p> <a href="http://openfuel.co/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"></a>Use code: WOD for 20% off your order, every time!</p><p><br /></p><p>*Women of Distance is also kept caffeinated by our friends, and fellow trail runners, at <a href="http://www.summit-roasters.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.summit-roasters.com</a></p><p>Use code WOD15 for 15% off your order every time!</p><p><br /></p><p>We'd love to see Women of Distance listeners supporting those, supporting us.

<p>Lexi Jackson just took 4.5 hours off the women's course record at the Jigger Johnson 100 mile - one of the world's most grueling trail races, through the White Mountains of New Hampshire... and a race she viewed as relatively easy as compared to some of the other things she's done and been through recently.</p><p>A crusher of gnarly FKTs of all varieties and big mountain racing, her path into sport was unconventional. In this episode, we discuss how she found running and what it meant to her; the confidence she developed; her path into mostly solo and unsupported trail adventure; developing community; the personal connection with FKT projects - and we go into full detail of her experience setting the Direttissima FKT (self-powered connection of the 48 4,000+ footers of New Hampshire) and winning the Jigger Johnson 100 in record time.</p><p><br></p><p>Check out Lexi's full FKT history here - it's impressive: https://fastestknowntime.com/athlete/lexi-jackson</p><p><br></p><p>Find and follow all things Women of Distance at: <a href="http://linktr.ee/womenofdistance" target="_blank">linktr.ee/womenofdistance</a></p><p><br></p><p>*Women of Distance is proudly supported by Open Fuel!</p><p>On a mission to provide the quality sports nutrition you need, without the trash and waste you don't - check out their products and their mission at <a href="http://openfuel.co/" target="_blank">openfuel.co</a></p><p> <a href="http://openfuel.co/" target="_blank"></a>Use code: WOD for 20% off your order, every time!</p><p><br></p><p>*Women of Distance is also kept caffeinated by our friends, and fellow trail runners, at <a href="http://www.summit-roasters.com/" target="_blank">www.summit-roasters.com</a></p><p>Use code WOD15 for 15% off your order every time!</p><p><br></p><p>We'd love to see Women of Distance listeners supporting those, supporting us.
