Sally McRae sets out on the WS100 trail for a simple 15 mile out and 15 mile back and ends off course. Crawling through brush, standing an a ledge with a 50 foot drop, melting snow to hydrate, rock climbing and riding a tram was NOT part of the original plan.

This is the first in the series of podcasts talking about SIMPLE RULES. Let's face it, trail and ultrarunning can be very complex, especially when the adrenaline is pumping, the legs and mind are weary, or the sun sets on a early morning start.

We extrapolated her premise to the sport we love.
