If you have done any races with Tejas Trails, you have probably run across Nancy Marks.
She's got pixie-short hair, wears cute skirts and talks a lot. (Yes, even more than me.)
She just turned 60 and finished the Cactus Rose 150-miler last month. She didn't sleep. But she hallucinated, had her tunes, didn't eat much and just pushed herself to beat the cutoff.
She has a very consistent pace and a great mental outlook that I found inspiring.
She shares some of her tips as well as some war stories.
This is easily one of my favorite master's interviews.
