Ep. 326 - The Hoodie I Didn't Earn...Or Did I?

In this episode, I’m talking about something a lot of runners believe and that is you only “earn” the right to wear race gear if you finish. After my DNF at the Moab 240 in 2025, I couldn’t bring myself to wear the hoodie I bought at the race. It sat in my closet for months because, in my mind, I hadn’t “earned” it.

In this episode, I’m talking about something a lot of runners believe and that is you only “earn” the right to wear race gear if you finish.

After my DNF at the Moab 240 in 2025, I couldn’t bring myself to wear the hoodie I bought at the race. It sat in my closet for months because, in my mind, I hadn’t “earned” it.

But over time, my perspective shifted.

This episode is about what that hoodie represents now.

More importantly, I talk about:

  • Why DNFs aren’t something to be afraid of
  • How setbacks can actually sharpen your approach
  • And why nothing in this sport comes easy (even when you think you’re prepared)

If you’ve ever struggled with a race that didn’t go your way, this one’s for you.
