🚨🚨SPECIAL PSA - HURRICANE HELENE 🚨🚨
Hurricane Helene is shaping up to be one of the deadliest and devastating hurricanes to hit the continental United States. Hundreds of thousands of people are not only without power, safe drinking water (or any running water at all), food supplies and first aid. Not only that - thousands of these people have experienced devastating loss - losing their entire homes, cars, livelihoods, and loved ones. Endurance athletes stick together, and have the determination and grit to overcome incredibly adversity. Read below to find out how you can support the Hurricane Helene relief efforts from both near and far.
Jiggin With Jordan GoFundMe // FLORIDA RELIEF: Jordan is a Youtuber that has supported hurricane relief in the past by buying and directly delivering supplies to victims - cutting out the middleman and getting sh*t done quick.
Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina: This food bank has mobilized their relief efforts to support western North Carolina in bringing food, potable water and household supplies to the hurricane victims.
East Tennessee Foundation: Directly serving citizens of east Tennessee who have been impacted by the hurricane through providing emergency shelter options, clothing, fuel, food, water, etc.
👇Listen to a Cadence-recommended Pod: Shelby Houlihan was served a 4-year doping ban - for which she attributed to a ‘bad burrito’, but now - come January, she’s back! Listen to what she’s been up to, and how she plans to hit the ground running (pun intended).

Tidbits
Women’s Sports & Health Expo: Maybe you’ve heard of the Arnoldfest or been to a massive race expo - but while the free samples is great, do you walk away from those being a more educated person, or a stronger advocate for women in sport? The Women’s Sports & Health Expo in Grand Rapids, Michigan is a new event that focuses on educating, celebrating and connecting women in sports through their multi-day event. Read more HERE.
✅The 4th Discipline of Tri: IM Maryland was just a bit wet on the run course. Athletes SWAM-BIKED-RAN-STEEPLECHASED to become newly minted IRONMAN finishers. All we can think about is our soggy shoes & wrinkly toes for 26.2 miles.
✅NYC to the Catskills: The Long Path is….just that. A 358-mile trail with one terminus at the 175th Street subway station in Manhattan and the other at Thacher State Park in New York State. Read more here about what your journey could look like.
✅Yearbook Photos: Cross country kids are usually a little nerdy, a little introverted - and VERY cliquey. Santa Clara’s Men’s XC team can also be described as a bit - off the wall. Every year, they release their official composite photos & never disappoint.
✅Floating Carbs: If you’ve been to Kona for C week, or you’re a part of the World Champs Lure, you know about the coffee boat that parks itself ¼ mile offshore for the week and serves coffee - you just have to swim there. This is a little less - hardcore - but we couldn’t pass up the chance for some carbs ON the water.
