Fun to chat with the overall second place winner of the Black Canyon 100k, Ailsa MacDonald.  We explored a few topics and hearing how she won Sinister 7 outright was amazing!  Also included is an update from YiOu Wang on Where's YiOu?!  Hearing about how she trains on a treadmill is great.  Enjoy the episode.

Big episode! Had a great time learning about Patrick Reagan and how he found ultra running along with hearing about his 13 hour 100 miler.  Fun time with a Coconino Cowboys doing the intro, nice to hear pre-race thoughts from both Eric Senseman & Tim Freriks before the Black Canyon 100K.  Lastly, hear a Sean O'Brien 100K race-recap from Courtney Dauwalter, who just won her Western States golden ticket.
