Whether you’ve had to drop out of a race or if you might find yourself in those shoes at some point, this is a must-listen-to episode. Hosts Sarah and Ellison talk with four women who Did Not Finish (DNF) a race for various reasons. The guests reveal:
-the situations that forced them the race course;
-their respective realizations that a DNF is not a failure;
-how they got back their running/racing mojo;
-what the DNF taught them about themselves; and,
-what race they’re tackling next.
Before the first DNF guest runs onto the show around 12:04, Ellison shares her own unforgettable DNF tale.
