Episode 12: Rebecca Man - EcoChallenge at 18
Today, I have Becca of Team True North in the World’s Toughest Race.
Becca is one of the strongest, brightest women I know and is here to tell tales of both triumph and near defeat from Eco-Challenge.
She is an impressive young woman, having finished the race when she was just 18 years old! As a lover of cycling and university student studying astrophysics, with a father who’s a navigation expert, Becca was made for greatness. Though, greatness doesn’t come easily.
Buckle up for a few of Becca’s most notable moments during the race and how it has since affected her mental health.
In this episode, you will hear:
What it was like to be very young on the team
The lovely dynamic of racing with her father
Her adrenaline-filled experience starting of the race
Becca is not a runner… and Eco-Challenge was the longest hike she’s ever done!
The mentally toughest part of the race for Becca + The thoughts that lead to meltdowns
Special bonding moments with other teams
Wild thoughts caused from sleep deprivation
The story of her boat sinking
What people should be saying to young female adventurers + The best advice she’s ever been given
It’s in the weakest moments that we’re being super strong, even when you don’t feel it.
Becca’s experience with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, anxiety, and depression after the Eco-Challenge
