Anna Frost, 2010 TNF EC Champion, Interview
December 6, 2010 by Bryon Powell · 6 Comments
Anna Frost of New Zealand won her first ultramarathon. It just so happened that the ultramarathon was the 2010 The North Face Endurance Challenge 50 Mile Championships. Along the way, Frost got the chance to run with Lizzy Hawker, one of her inspirations. We chatted with Anna the day after her journey into the unknown.

Byron, this may be something you can find out. I noticed one of the Salomon runners was wearing some kind of rain vest. Runner #223 was wearing it.

Thanks, Craig
I’ll look into it, but it may be team issued kit that wouldn’t be available for at least a year.
Thanks Byron! I did some searching on my own and am thinking it might very well be a rain vest that cyclists wear. Then again, you could be right on the money.
Bryon,
Thanks for the great coverage of TNF EC this year, including this interview of Anna Frost. I’m a newbie runner, trail or otherwise, who finished his first 50K on Saturday. It is inspiring and grounding to hear elite runners like Anna talk about the hard work and moments emotion that happen on the trails.
Cheers,
Gary
Amazing race by Anna Frost. Great interview Byron. Keep it up.

Great interview, really great to hear a little description of the race from the racer. I greatly enjoyed watching the post race interviews in particular
