I saw her first at Joe Rogan's podcast1. Far beyond the athletic achievement, I was amazed by her humility, how modest was she was during the entire conversation! 1 link to this video

On “Ultra marathon runner earns awards for both first place woman and overall winner”

Last year the NYTimes had a nice writeup about her link - I was following up on that and found an interview she did with Joe Rogan in 2017 after winning the MOAB 240, and some of the stories she tells about persevering through physical fatigue (and hallucinations, etc) is unreal: link to this video
