We talk about:

Her start in sky and mountain races
Transitioning to longer distances and 100-mile events
Working with Merrell and what sponsorship really looks like
The challenges and rewards of being a female athlete in ultra-trail
Why staying connected to the community matters

Mercedes is thoughtful, grounded, and honest about the highs and lows of competing at every distance in the mountains.
