Emily Schmitz is fresh off of a podium finish at the UTMB World Series Final - placing third amongst a deeply competitive field of women.

With a history of top finishes at OCC, CCC, World Mountain and Trail Running Championships, and more - Emily races with a quiet confidence, leading by instinct and curiosity rather than expectation.

In this episode, we discuss how that curiosity has guided her path through life as well as how it allowed her to stay connected to her own experience at UTMB; racing to the top while also enjoying and absorbing the journey.
