Description

In this episode we quite literally cover the front of the pack to the back of the pack! Coree Woltering joins the chat, and he was the first-place overall champion at this year's Blue Ridge Ultra! He's joined by Florida's Amanada Dean, she was the official DFL for this year's race and as we learn... she is super proud of it! Jeff Leininger also joins the chat with the perspective of the Race Director! 
Coree has run all over the world from his first 100 miler at the Dunes 100 here in Florida to Tunnel Hill, the Western States 100, the Black Canyon 100k, Mountain Mist, Cruel Jewel 100, to most recently also placing 6th place at the Clawhammer 50k (one week after winning the Blue Ridge Ultra)! 
Amanda Dean has done races like 12k out at Jack's and she also coaches Cross Country and Track! She's been a lifelong athlete across numerous sports and now she's kicking up into the dark side of Trail and Ultra! 
Jeff is the Race Director and founder of ARGEORGIA! Jeff started an adventure racing club in Florida called Florida Extreme in which he found others to learn from and better his game. Now with ARGEORGIA, he not only still competing, but also putting on events in Adventure Racing and Ultra Marathons! Jeff has completed over 100 expedition and adventure races alongside his son Hunter and close friends. 
The Blue Ridge Ultra 50k consists of 16 miles of the Benton MacKaye trail, 6 miles of hidden trails, and 9 miles of Forest Service roads with over 6,000 feet of elevation change deep within the beautiful Chattahoochee National Forest of the North Georgia Mountains.
