B ninety three awesome sauce. Start your day on a
positive note. Six ten weekday mornings with the B ninety
three Morning Show. Okay, you gotta hear this last weekend
Stephanie Case. She's a Canadian trail runner and a UN
human rights lawyer.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
No big deal, Yeah, just on the side.

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Also, where does she find the time? But she won
one of Britain's toughest races, the sixty two mile Ultra
Trail Snowdonia. Sixty two miles. Wow, that's insane.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah, I don't think I've done that in a lifetime.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Still, almost three times as long as your standard marathon.
Here is the kicker though. This was her first race
in three years and she just had a baby six
months ago. She was literally breastfeeding her daughter Pepper during
the race.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
How do you do that?

Speaker 2 (00:53):
During the race, she was stopped at aid stations to
feed her before she would continue. So that kind of
like pushed her back in her time, ycause you know,
you got it. You can't really say like, Okay, I'm
just gonna do this for ten like you gotta do
what you gotta do, right Yeah. Yeah, She started a
half an hour behind the elites. So she got a

(01:15):
thirty minute late start, breastfed her daughter throughout the race,
crushed the course in under seventeen hours, and beat the
second place runner by four minutes. Stephanie says, don't call
it a comeback.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, my gosh, this is a.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Whole new chapter. She wants moms everywhere to know, listen
to your body, trust your journey, and don't let anyone
tell you what you can or cannot do. Honestly, powerful
reminder that strength does not stop or take a break
just because you become a mom.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Is this is an amazing story. That is an incredible story.
She should be very proud of herself. If you're the
second place person who lost, I.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Don't think you feel bad about that at all, Like
that is a superhuman I think you look at her
and you go, that is the person that I want
to lose to.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Let me see step it up next time. She had
a half an hour late start, it was breastfeeding. Let
step it up a little bit.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Isn't that incredible?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Oh, it's amazing. I'm just choking, one hundred percent, just joking.
That's that's an absolutely amazing story. And I'm I don't
even know how you you muster up the strength to
do that after knowing you you started late, and that
you your body is like because every I don't I
forget how fat, how often you have to feel I
think it's ever a couple hours, but she was must

(02:34):
have been stopping a ton.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
That's kind of what it sounds like. That's wild and
seventeen hours. Wow, seriously inspiring stuff
