Aric had an exciting time sitting down with Harrison just days before his first go at a 200 mile race- Bigfoot 200. We have sat down with Harrison two other times and followed his progress to race day. This show was special because we had so many questions for you- the listeners. Thank you for all the amazing questions. 
We want to wish Harrison GOOD LUCK on his adventure and look forward to chatting with him after his success at the Bigfoot 200. Go get 'em Harry! We are all behind you!

HE DID IT! We had Preston on the podcast a few weeks back as he prepared for his 2nd 100-miler and 1st Western States 100. He threw down a goal of sub 24 and he went out and got it. 
We want to congratulate Preston again for his accomplishment and hard work. He not only is a fantastic trail runner but a great dude!
Listen to his race breakdown- it's awesome!

The big one is finally here- Western States 100. We do a last minute breakdown and drop our picks for the race  as well as give everyone one last chance to enter our WS100 contest. We also dig into the opening round of the World Cup.
