This newsletter was originally founded to be focused on ultra-running and unsanctioned racing, but since relaunching its scope has expanded to general lifestyle interest. Running for me has been a primary way to learn not just about my surroundings, but myself. This is, I think, one of the highest callings as a human being: To live an examined life. To leave things better than how you found them. To find the freedom that comes from discipline.

Where it all began

First launched as a training diary while I prepared to run The Speed Project—a 340 mile relay race from the Santa Monica Pier to the Las Vegas Strip. I first ran the race in 2022 with the GRIT USA team. In 2023, I recruited an all-female crew, the Feral Angels for the 2024 race where we made it to Vegas first of the OG women’s teams. The Feral Angels ran again, racing TSP CHX in 2024 with a team led and recruited by Nikki Trifunovic.

Originally, when this newsletter launched I did myself a lot of SEO favors unwittingly going with the same name as the discontinued Dodge Challenger. Hellcat came from thinking about the hottest place on earth and the fastest mammal on earth. Death Valley and Cheetahs. Hell and cats. Hellcat! As this project has evolved it is a nice artifact of those first few races across the Mojave. RIP Hellcat, long live Feral Angel.

Who are you?

I work for The Bulwark in a range of capacities but serve primarily as their art director—which means I have a lot of fun designing graphics and finding images to go on stories as well as photographing events. If you see me with a camera at one of our live show recordings please say hi!
