The lads recap the recent Yandina 5-0 event in Queenslands Sunny Coast!

They also chat recent and upcoming events and competitions - and the age old question - to double knot or not?

The lads chat their races at Dead Cow Gully Backyard ultra and the weekend that was! Including some unreal results for the wider Snail community.

We discuss their upcoming run at the last ever Yandina 5-0, and have a chat with our “Shellebrity Runner”, Belle Ferguson!

And the ultimate question - fresh or toasted?
