Show notes

Nicole Bitter is an ultramarathon athlete with a long resume that includes three top 10 finishes at the Western States 100, wins at the Black Canyon 100km, Javelina 100, and multiple podium finishes at competitive events from 50km through 100 miles. This year, she finished third in what was the most competitive Javelina 100 field to date, and likely the second most competitive100 mile in the United States this year. The level of competition and the addition of a third category (non-binary) where both new elements to this years race, which added to the complexity of how things played out in the results and reporting during the race.
