Mitch Schofield is a quiet presence with an epic story.

His self-discipline and internal drive for excellence pushed him to run a self-made Ironman and a 100-mile race, essentially off the couch.

When he suffered a significant spinal injury in the fall of 2023, the future was uncertain, but through determination and his own will, Mitch is back!

He signed up for a backyard ultra-style race in June and is ready to see what he can do in the wake of a horrific injury.

As always, thank you for listening to Chafed and Confused!
