Hurricane Katrina Survivor Leah Erickson | LotDR Episode 009

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

In the ninth episode of the podcast, I connect with Leah Erickson, who rose to the challenge of the Death Race after surviving Hurricane Katrina. Leah shares her story of how the challenges of her past motivated her and equipped her to handle the Death Race. We discuss the value of Leah’s two “superpowers”, her ability to fuel herself without the normal mid-race pickiness for food, and her upbeat attitude that creates a “soft armor” making her invincible to the trials of the race. Unfortunately, one small chink in her armor led to a DNF, but now after having surgery to repair her labrum, Leah’s drive to return to Pittsfield and earn her skull is evident!

Tune in to hear Leah’s legend!
