The Queen of Pain – Amelia Boone | LotDR Episode 023

  • April 16, 2020
  • Tony Matesi

Welcome to the Legend of the Death Race Podcast, where you’ll hear the legends of past Death Racers, new and old.

In the twenty-third episode of the podcast, Amelia Boone joins us to share her incredible journey from her life in Chicago, to becoming the “Queen of Pain.” Amelia shares how she went from knowing little about endurance sports to her rise to the top. Discover how the Death Race pulled her from the need to have everything organized and calculated in life to learning to let go and thrive in the chaos that is the Death Race. Amelia also shares how she battled her personal demons during and after the Death Race and imparts some valuable wisdom for anyone with an eating disorder. Tune in to learn how this impressive woman juggles life as an attorney and competing at the highest level of human performance. Enjoy the show, and thank you for listening!
