Fellow college classmate turned Chiropractor, created this podcast to help introduce listeners to people (like Kathy) that go above and beyond in their lives as a perfect example of ordinary people doing extraordinary things! You'll hear about her PrimalQuest adventure race, triple "iron" distance triathlons, and of course RAAM (plus much, much, more).
You'll want to check out this fun interview with the one and only Jay Thomas on his SirusXM radio show. Caution, some of the language may be a bit "NSFW" (not Kathy, of course), but she had a great time talking with Jay and his co-host Cristina Palumbo. You'll get a bit of informal insight on the life of an adventure athlete - wrapped in a bit of humor!
This post comes directly from the Race Across America's Facebook page and makes the "official' announcement of Kathy's return to the world's toughest bicycle race. You do not need a Facebook account, or to be logged in, to view the article linked below.

Most working adults get a week or two away from their jobs each year — precious days spent vacationing on a beach, touring museums or just staying at home. Marshall’s Kathy Roche-Wallace isn’t like most people. The 52-year-old triathlete will, for the second time in three years, be spending her vacation pedaling coast to coast in the 2013 Race Across America or RAAM tour.
On June 11, 2013, Kathy Roche-Wallace, a Marshall resident, will begin her Race Across America (RAAM), which spans 12 states for a total of 3,000 miles and 12 days. She has competed in the event before in 2011 and hopes to have the same success as last time.
