Racing Beyond Limits: Nicole Teeny’s 50-Mile Showdown with a Horse
from Sportly · host Immigrantly Media
This week, Kavitha sits down with Nicole Teeny—a queer Lebanese-American filmmaker, ultramarathon runner, and the host of the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast series GIRL v. HORSE. Nicole sets an audacious goal in this four-part series: to race a horse in a 50-mile ultramarathon. But it’s not just about the finish line—this journey represents a deeply personal quest to reclaim her body and redefine resilience after an epilepsy diagnosis. Kavitha and Nicole discuss what it takes to train for such an unconventional race, the emotional ups and downs, and feeling connected to Horses. The conversation is as much about grit as it is about healing. Expect laughs, raw moments, and a powerful reminder that pushing boundaries—whether in sports or life—is often the greatest victory of all. Hosts: Kavitha A.
