Kelly Wolf spent much of her childhood thru high school competing as a gymnast. Fatigued from the pressure and some physiological concerns, she stepped away from that sport and found rock climbing in college.
A bit burned out from climbing, Kelly discovered the trails and hasn’t looked back. She ran her first ultra less than two years ago and has already picked up a sponsor and made her mark by nabbing a 2nd at Speedgoat and wins at both Flagstaff Skyrace and Broken Arrow Skyrace.
Episode Sponsor: Carmichael Training System

In this interview, we discuss:

Life and pressure of a young gymnast and the effects of eating disorders.
*
How snowboarding helped her conquer the wacky conditions she was faced with at Broken Arrow.

What she learned about nutrition and fueling by bonking hard.
*
How she started working with Koop and what she’s learned from having some structure.
*
Why the San Juan Range is in fact the best range.
*
Women’s comfort in the MUT scene.
Episode Notes

Kelly mentioned Spring Energy as her fuel of choice. (Full disclosure: Spring Energy is one of Kelly’s sponsors.)
*
Interested in the Epson ProSense 307 watch I was talking about at the close? I was a bit off in price (it’s $250, not $250) but for someone like me who struggles with technology, it’s worth it.
*
Here are the top five links from the URP Daily News:
*
Here’s the video with Anton dishing advice on 100 milers.
*
Here’s an article about Kaci.
