Season 2 Episode 106
Ever wondered what it would be like to race the Transcontinental Race? This episode features guest Dr. Sarah Ruggins - a former elite long-distance runner turned ultra cyclist. Sarah shares her inspiring journey from almost total body paralysis due to a neural disease to competing in one of the world's toughest ultra cycling races, the Transcontinental Race (TCR).
Despite starting her cycling journey just months before her first race, Sarah demonstrated remarkable resilience and perseverance. She recounts her experience in the 2023 and 2024 editions of the TCR, including the challenges of losing her race partner early in the 2024 edition and continuing solo. Sarah also discusses her plans for a Guinness World Record attempt in 2025 and her efforts to raise awareness for diversity and inclusion in ultra cycling. Sarah is a great example of overcoming adversity, pushing boundaries, and continually striving for improvement.
