146 Candice Burt - Humans of Ultrarunning
02/04/19 • 34 min
Candice Burt wears many hats in the world of Ultrarunning. She is a runner herself, she directs and holds multiple races every year and now she has started a podcast called Humans of Ultrarunning.
We talk about the trails near her home in Leavenworth, WA. One of her favorite spots, the Enchantments, is only 13 miles away. Hiking, running and skiing are easy to do in her hometown.
Her three 200 mile ultra marathons are known as the triple crown of 200’s. The Tahoe 200, the Bigfoot 200 and the Moab 240 Endurance Run.
I paused to note Candice had just raced the Hurt 100 ultra marathon in Hawaii about a week before our conversation. She brings up her goal to get the supported FKT on the 800 mile long Arizona Trail this year.
Humans of Ultrarunning 12 or 13 great episodes. We mention Courtney Dauwalter from episode one, Gene Dykes from her most recent episode and her bonus show about Candice’s own solo/unsupported FKT on the Wonderland Trail.
I also asked Candice about women’s strength in long distance running and hiking and what are her fears when out alone.

145 98 Days of Wind - Ultrapedestrians Book
Ras and Kathy of Team Ultrapedestrian were back on the podcast to talk about their book 98 Days of Wind. Their attempt to yo-yo the Grand Enchantment Trail ended amidst a forest fire, extreme heat and health issues.
Despite not completing their attempt, I couldn’t help but talk about their positive outlook on life and even on the hike itself. It rings through the book as a positive motivation! I compared the book to a modern day diary, using social media posts as a part of their daily journaling.

147 Elaine "Brazil Nut" Bissonho - Double Triple Crowner
Elaine Bissonho is known as Brazil nut on the trail. She grew up in Brazil and currently lives in Bend, Oregon. She became the third female to earn her double triple crown from ALDHA West this past Fall at the Gathering, putting her in the ranks with Anish and Yogi.
We talk about her 2018 hike on the PCT when she hiked from Mexico to Canada in 66 days. She pushed herself, knowing that Anish had done it in 60 days. Brazil Nut took three showers on this thru hike and a bunch of cold plunges in various lakes along the route.
She talks about her fears on trail. How she handles them and what are her fears.
A friend in Boston encouraged her to go on her first hike. “I don’t hike!” was Brazil Nut’s first response. Crazy to think that. They ended up hiking in New Hampshire and she went on many hikes in that area afterward. The White Mountains were her first love.
Stretching is very important for Brazil Nut. She would use her elbows to work on her legs and she tries to keep her feet lubed up. She uses three different types of socks which she changes out during the day along with a healthy dose of vaseline.
She is hoping to do the Arizona Trail, Great Divide Trail and the Pacific Northwest Trail this year.
