❄️ DNF at 30 Miles: Lessons from the Spine Challenger ❄️
In my latest attempt at the Spine Challenger, Mother Nature had other plans. Waist-deep snow, brutal winds, and freezing conditions turned an already tough race into a survival challenge. After battling through 30 miles of this, I made the tough call to DNF (Did Not Finish).
DNF. Three letters no endurance athlete wants to face. But it happens—and what really matters is how we deal with it.
In this episode of AllyCast, I break down:
✅ The brutal conditions that led to my DNF
✅ Lessons learned about kit, preparation, and mindset
✅ How to reframe failure and turn it into a stepping stone
✅ The psychology of goal setting after a setback
Every challenge teaches us something. Sometimes, the toughest lessons come when things don’t go to plan.
If you’ve ever faced a setback—whether in sport, business, or life—this one’s for you. Tune in and let me know: How do you bounce back after a tough loss?
