 Preston Wood received good news the first time he put in for the Western States 100 lottery last year and has been training hard ever since. We had a great time talking with Preston and cannot wait to get him back on after the race. He sat down with us the day before he raced the Squaw Peak 50 and we grilled him on his upcoming Western race. He is such a great guy and we cannot send enough good vibes for his trip to Auburn later this month. Good Luck Preston- TrailManners will be sending all the good mojo your way!

***Update on his 2018 Squaw Peak 50- In the podcast he mentined his goal is to go under 10:30. Preston finished in 9:37

TrailManners is on location here in the Pacific Northwest and falling head over heals for Bellingham, WA. Long time friend of TrailManners, Jeff Hart, is not only playing tour guide but he is also sitting in for Joel this week on the show. It may be a day late but mostly because Aric couldnt stay off the trails.

Hopefully better than when Nick Carter went solo from the Backstreet Boys but not nearly as good as Han Solo ...hopefully it will work for a week- Aric is alone and shaking but we bring you another week of the Singletrack Session.
