Episode #20 - Racing the Ridge: The Pinhoti 100 Finishers Tell Their Story

In episode number 20 of the On Your Left Podcast, Matt Clem sits down with the first and second place finishers of this year’s Pinhoti 100. It was a hard-fought race with Peter Kazery leading for most of the course, only to be passed by first-time 100 miler Jake Russell in the final stretch. Both athletes share the mental battles, strategy decisions, and raw moments that defined their race day.   Joining in studio is first-time 100 mile finisher Ben McDonald, who pushed through exhaustion and doubt to earn his very first belt buckle with only minutes to spare. This episode is about grit, community, and the part of endurance racing that goes far beyond the miles.   Song Recommendation of the Week: https://open.spotify.com/track/4WpbGa1LKTvwPOwizh0Mvk?si=VNmNzAARQDq7BI7hK-Zqnw   #OnYourLeftPodcast #Pinhoti100 #TrailRunningCommunity #UltraRunning #EnduranceMindset #JakeRussell #PeterKazery #FirstBuckle #RunForPurpose #KeepShowingUp   This episode is produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.
