Carrie Rodman is one of our 2024 Grambassadors, selected from a large group of applicants to share her passion and knowledge of our race weekend.

Rodman joined the podcast to talk about the dirty, three letter words in running - DNF and DNS. It's a reality in marathoning that not every registered participant will make it to the starting line, and not everyone who starts will finish.

Rodman talks about her experience being unable to start a race she had signed up and trained for, and she shares her memories of almost dropping out of a race. Neither is a place anyone wants to be, but she shares how she was able to process her emotions during a diffcult time in her running career.
