IronWomen – Conquering the Appalachian Trail with Tara Dower and Rascal

In this Episode

After an eventful weekend of racing, Alyssa and Haley got to debrief everything that went on in the triathlon world. After that, we had an exciting interview with Tara Dower and her crew chief, Rascal, who just achieved the overall fastest known time on the Appalachian Trail! Tara and Rascal told us all the details of this incredible endeavor, including how they decide to work together, and all the preparation that went into the attempt itself. We also got to hear about the highs and lows of life on the trail and we are so glad these two took the time to come on the show!
