Episode Description

Stretching from Washington to California along the Pacific Ocean, the 400+ mile long Oregon Coast Trail is a mix of road, beach, and forested trail that challenges travelers with tides, estuaries, and frequent bad weather. Join host Heather Anderson this week as she chats with Katie Gunvalson who recently smashed the women’s overall record with her self-supported time of 7 days, 19 hours, and 41 minutes–two hours faster than the women’s supported time–despite logging over 20 additional miles. Katie shares her experiences with timing the tides, battling bad weather at the crux of the route, sleep deprivation, and how this record reset what she thought she was capable of.
