You'll have to pardon our Photoshop skills and settle on having a very detailed explanation of the Hardrock 100 Lottery with Blake Wood. Blake has a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Berkeley along with being an amazing ultra runner in his own right, so you know that this is going to be a very detailed explanation.... 

Chris and Dan sat down with Blake for a great and detailed conversation about how the lottery is conducted as well as how it has changed over the years. From the humble beginnings of how the lottery started to how it has evolved into what it is today, we also dove into some speculation about what happens to the lottery in the future!
