Ep. 7 - Dr. Stefanie Flippin

Our latest installment is with Dr. Stefanie Flippin. Stefanie is the lone member of the Road to the Olympic Trials roster who is striving to achieve an Olympic Trials qualifying time in the marathon. She began running as an adult in medical school and is quite new to competitive road racing. An experienced ultra and trail runner, she is a four time 100 miler finisher, twelve time 50-100k finisher. Even more impressive is that Dr. Flippin is a foot and ankle surgeon & co-owner of private practice with her husband in Lakewood, Colorado.   Stefanie had a recent breakthrough at the Birmingham Wine 10k, with a 36:32 in a downpour - placing 7th in a competitive elite field. She also had a win at the Canyonlands Half Marathon, posting the 3rd fastest female time in the race's 46 year history.
