Fireroad Episode: Staying in it - Corinne's Desert Rats 100k Podium

In this Fire Road episode of Ultra Uncovered, Corinne Shalvoy breaks down her gritty third place finish at the Desert Rats 100K.

Coming off a DNF at Black Canyon and battling illness race week, she lined up in Fruita with one goal: secure a top three finish and a UTMB Finals qualification opportunity.

The day delivered everything. A chaotic, technical start in the dark, mid race storms with hail and wind, hamstring issues, nutrition pivots, and late race physical lows. It was a full test of resilience.

The race shifted at mile 50 and from there, it became about staying steady, managing effort, and holding position through the final miles. How did it turn out in the end? Listen in to find out.
This episode dives into the complexity of UTMB qualification, racing through uncertainty, and why steady execution often matters more than big moves. It is a raw look at persistence and staying in it when things get hard.
