@thetrailnetworkpod is finally here!!! 📣 I am over the moon to announce a new pod with @rachelraedrake @leah_yingling @thehilaryann There are countless stories from the trail and beyond that we are excited to bring to light. Specifically- “head to head” recaps from trail runners battling for the win, or conversations with trail partners- in business and in life. We will share the good, bad, and the beautiful. And maybe some ugly. But we learn the most from the ugly, right? We are excited to bring you along our journey from the beginning. We know this will morph as time goes on- but we have a clear goal: To bring stories of runners on and off the trail that capture the spirit of trailrunning and the power of friendship and connection. Proudly produced by @sandyboyproductions and sponsored by @ospreypacks 🚀 Follow us at @thetrailnetworkpod for new releases and DM us any and all pod ideas! We want to hear from you! We hope you add our pod to your rotation- (oh yeah- give it 5 stars and share with everyone you know! I’m supposed to say that right?;) Find us on YouTube and anywhere you listen to podcasts 🚀

Well that was a dream @wser 💫 Yesterday was a special one for the memory books. It was everything I love about racing. We glissaded. We climbed. We worked together. We charged. We hunted. Pacing yourself in any 100miler is an art- but against some of the best in the world was a privilege. And hot daaaamn that womens pack! Much of the day F3-F8 were racing together. Were we racing each other to implosion for the chase pack to close? Deciding when to conserve vs when to surge kept the day SPICY! 🌶🔥 Closest womens race in history, finishing with fastest top ten women in 50yrs of Western States. And pretty special to have CR fall in untouchable fashion. @courtneydauwalter you are in another league👑 Yesterday was hands down the most FUN I’ve ever had racing. I ran with everyone I knew throughout the day. I didn’t take one step for granted. I was SO HAPPY to be there!! I took calculated risks, constant check ins w mind and body, and was lifted by the energy of the crowds and my team. I soaked it ALL up. F4 in 17:21, over 1hr off my F5 time in 2021, over 2hrs from F9 last year. Top 6th female time ever 😮 There will be good days, there will tough days. None of them define you- but they will change you. Over here enjoying the ride🎢 I know these days racing at Western States won’t last forever. I raced yesterday as if it were my last… And I’m freakin pumped that this time it won’t be😏 See you at Placer HS next June 🤌🏽🔥 📸 @thehilaryann 🙏🏽😘

Jumped into the 20miler at @bishophsultras last minute & it did not disappoint! 🎉 I didn’t know how much gas I would have in the tank with life lately- but was able to move pretty well and stoked with my effort. 1st Overall 🏆🥳 (I’ve been 2nd OA & 3rd OA in other races in my past- but first time winning outright which is fun!) Perfect training day & community vibes were strong! @timtollefson @morgan.tuohy @acsturgi , @graham_seth ,Alex & a mid race squeeze from @itschloeemschulman @ca_wildflower & @carrie_inthewild ❤️‍🔥 What an awesome bunch of humans. If you are Eastern Sierra curious- this is a super chill fun race (20mi, 53k, 50mi, 100k) and all proceeds go to @inyosar & Eastern Sierra Youth Outdoor Program @_sierra_forever_ . *** Also note top runners get entry to @mammothtrailfest AND there is a @tordesgeants partnership where two lucky 100k finishers can bypass the Tor lottery and gain direct entry 👀😱*** Thank you to @tovog and all organizers & volunteers for putting on another rad event!

Soul run FTW! 🎉 As you can imagine- training has taken quite a hit the last couple of weeks. For the first time in my life- I was forcing runs to get in training instead of running with joy (dexcom alerts going off repeatedly in runs not fun 🙄). I didn’t want to lose fitness- but nervous system was screaming STOP. So I did. 💥 And now finally coming up for air! 💥 I have big goals this summer. I don’t want them to slip away. But I am giving myself grace that our new life has changed priorities- and that’s ok. Oh the ebb and flow of life stress 🌊 But joy runs are back in action! ⚡️ As always… never taking a step for granted. Shoutout to coach @mountainroche for being super flexible and my #1 cheerleader ➡️ for training log :) . . . #runforlife #daybyday #trailrunning #breathebabybreathe

THANK YOU for the overwhelming love and support after sharing about our 11yo’s recent type 1 diabetes diagnosis. Gosh — the texts, the private DMs from people with T1D, and from friends/family of loved ones with T1D… I feel so held by this community of beautiful humans 🫶🥹 Everyone says “it gets better.” I’m trusting y’all! 🙏 Not gonna lie — it’s been a JOURNEY, folks. This has completely flipped our world upside down. But day by day, we’re finding a routine … aaaand it’s still really, really hard. And maybe — dare I say it — I’m trusting the process a (tiny) bit more. Real talk: Last weekend our 9yo had surgery… a surgery we’d already planned for (but the timing omg 😱). So another 12 hours of driving to and from the city while Pete stayed back in Mammoth with Noa. While Pete set alarms all night to check glucose, give jelly beans, or insulin… I was setting alarms every 2 hours for Motrin or Tylenol post-op for Liam. (I know… what a two weeks for the Asmuths 🫠) BUT SOMETHING CHANGED. I leaned in for help. My family is my backbone, and they’ve walked through ALL of life with me. It was SO healing to be together. I sought out joy and looked for the wins. Lordy, those tacos were bomb. The sand in our toes. When Noa & my sister’s (also w T1D) sugar was 109 at 1:09pm🤯 Breakfast in bed on Mother’s Day (yes I cried). I took rest days from running and most other responsibilities to be present with Liam. And woah — my nervous system needed that reset. (and woah am I aware how privileged I am to have the ability to have reset…) Now back to glorious weather in Mammoth- feeling a *little* lighter with a fuller tank ⛽️ One of the many lessons learned- when in crisis… Look for wins (anything! Even if it’s a “wow- the sun actually came up! ” moment ha) The mantra “day by day” just might be the ticket 🤍 #motherhood #whenitrainsitpours #daybyday #leanin #type1warrior

One week ago today, our world turned upside down. Noa, our 11-year-old, was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. He had subtle symptoms- peeing more, drinking more… and since my sister has type 1 diabetes- we happened to have a glucometer at home. The “high” on the meter was that “before” and “after” moment. Like a pregnancy test… but without 9 months to prepare for the life change. In an instant our world shifted. Shifting between confidence and confusion. Trying to find our footing in something that feels so big- his 11yo independent, carefree life forever different. There’s a lot of emotions as you can imagine. Still not sure how much I’m going to share on this platform. Right now we are in the thick of it… AND- we will eventually settle into this new rhythm. The knowing that there will be very hard days ahead is tough to swallow. It’s been quite the rollercoaster- with a lot of learnings already. Life is wild like that- throws you curveballs while you hope you’ve had the life experience to be able to step up to the plate. I am SO proud of Noa—his strength, his resilience, his curiosity. Our community of family and friends, coaches and teachers… everyone has been SO supportive. We are growing in this journey together. Trying. Gosh- we are really trying. Trying to stay level headed/neutral with the glucose numbers (data we react to… vs eliciting an emotion) Trying to predict meals, count carbs, pre-bolus insulin… stay ahead (but avoid the low…) Trying to let Noa live a full, beautiful, and… safe life. Feels like a bit of a guessing game- more art than science. And knowing we will never fully have it figured out is tough for this problem solver mom… To anyone else navigating something heavy right now— I see you! We’ll get through it- and a new normal will settle in. day by day 🤍 we got this #type1diabetes #strongkiddo #wecandohardthings

We did it!! Garage makeover - into a gym and hockey shooting pad 💥 We are all SO STOKED (+ the neighborhood kids;) Just in time for another snow storm… and uphill treadmill sessions to a new level 😎 (Scroll for the before pic 🫣😱… or don’t lol it’s embarrassing ha)

When the underdogs WIN!! 🏆 These kids in our small mountain town of Mammoth Lakes are CRUSHING. Pretty special to witness what this community is building. The U10 Hockey team defied all odds and WON THE CALIFORNIA STATE TITLE!! WHAAAAT?! 🤯 And against the BIG cities!! San Diego, Anaheim, Riverside, Pasadena, Los Angeles, San Jose etc etc- Wild part? • only year 2 of a youth travel hockey program • no tryouts (everyone who wants in, is in) • 100% volunteer-run (by parents ❤️) And Mammoth has only had an indoor rink for 3 years! A bunch of badass kids, coaches, and families all in on something bigger than themselves. SO COOL. AAAAAAND in the same weekend…. 👑👑👑 Mammoth Mountain Ski Team FINALLY beat Palisades (and all the other Tahoe resorts) at the Far West Ski Champs for U10 for the overall season!! First time ever I think (at least in over a decade)? And two Mammoth kids- Liam and Sophia won the overall Richmond Cup for the championships for 3 different disciplines. (Note his lucky shredded “green machine” speedsuit that he LOVES ha) (Needless to say… Asmuth kids might be peaking in life and we need them to slow down 😂 all we care about is they try their best, elevate their teammates, and enjoy the journey… but to actually win it also pretty damn fun ha) An epic weekend for Mammoth and too good not to share on the gram;) #sportsarecool 📸 @christianpondella #1-3

How about let’s celebrate women everyday 💥 Continuously inspired, empowered, and in awe of the badass women in my life. #internationalwomensday2026

Ep 97: Head to Head at @blackcanyonultras 🔥 Jenn Lichter vs Anne Flower @kt_asmuth hosts a race recap with @jenniferlichter & @_flowpow_ with a play by play of the day and you don’t want to miss out on the BTS of the historic performances! Jenn is a Missoula, Montana-based trail runner stepping into her 100K debut after establishing herself as a fearless, high-intensity racer at shorter distances, now racing with Nike ACG. Anne is a Colorado Springs-based ultrarunner known for her strength and composure in longer events, newly racing with HOKA. Together, they break down how the front pack formed, when the race shifted from controlled pacing to all-out competition, and what it took to keep pressing through the final miles with less than a minute separating first and second. They also share the real details behind fueling, hydration, and decision-making under pressure, then look ahead to Western States prep and how each of them plans to train, preview the course, and carry momentum into the next start line.

New Zealand family edition;) 45 seconds of post Tarawera 100k fun. Campervanned our way around the north and south islands. Kinda reliving our honeymoon- but this time with kids in tow 💗 One for the memory books!
