ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Trail Tea is back! In this edition, I am once again joined by Jack Kuenzle, Dan Curts, and Abby Levene. There is a fair bit of profanity used in this episode, so you are forewarned on that front. And one issue to be aware of before listening - I neglected to catch an audio issue with Dan’s microphone early in the episode that persists and ultimately, gets worse through the end of the conversation. I looked into possible fixes in post-production, but could not find an adequate solution. We will make sure the 3rd edition (and all future editions of TT, for that matter) have immaculate audio quality.
Timestamps:
- (2:33) why Jack is not racing UTMB next year, general thoughts on whether to opt out of the UTMB system
- (62:06) doping in trail running, genetic predetermination of success in the sport
- (81:05) debating the value of trail running media
