She won her first ultra three weeks after her collegiate career ended. Ellie Baxter just ran the longest race of her life — 62 miles and 11,000 feet of vertical at the Gorge Waterfalls 100K — but she had a few questions first. So we brought in backup. Professional ultra trail runner Kat Edwards Anderson and her husband and crew chief Jason Anderson join Ellie and her boyfriend Spencer Pickren for a no-holds-barred download on how to run your first 100K and how to crew one for the very first time.
