Happiest when in Motion: The Rise of Brooke Thomas

<p>Brooke Thomas is a star on the rise, and while she won't admit it she's one of the top trail runners in the world.<br /><br />Recently, Brooke was the last woman standing at Arrowtown Backyard event, nearly placing her directly on the New Zealand team for the Satellite World Championships. <br /><br />That ends what has been a big year, which includes a fourth at UTA in her first showing, and being in the Top 40 women who finished this year's CCC at UTMB.<br /><br />What's perhaps most incredible about all of this is that just over a decade ago, she was diagnosed with a heart condition and became the recipient of an inserted cardiac pacemaker, oh and I haven't even mentioned that she holds the women's record for the 3,000km Te Araroa Trail.<br /><br />There's more to her, but you'll have to listen to this episode to find out!</p>
