So we had originally intended to box the UTMB and CCC men's preview into one episode.

0:08.3

I think we just had too much fun and went on too many tangents in the UTNB episode that we made a real-time decision to put a cap on that one and to create a standalone CCC episode, which I think is a good call.

0:20.5

Thank you, Brett. Yeah, similar to the

0:22.6

TV episode, I think we'll cover the demands of the course, any interesting storylines, obviously

0:29.6

the depths of the field, our predictions, how the American contingent might fare. Brett,

0:35.8

where do you want to start?

0:44.0

You're welcome sponsors for doubling the amount of episodes and therefore potential ad reads by your boy Finn Melanson.

0:48.2

Yeah.

0:49.0

Thank you, Brooks, Codiac Cakes, Pillar, I'm just again.

1:16.9

to hit a pause and know exactly where CCC starts now, because it starts at the beginning

1:21.8

of this episode. This is the men's CCC preview. Yep. Yeah. And I think similar to other content creators and other sports, it's pretty normal to have a daily talk show.

1:33.3

And maybe what we'll do is like we'll release UTNB on the 26th, CCC on the 27th, women's UTNB on the 28th, women's CCC on the 29th.

1:42.1

Just have like a couple days stretch of content but yeah this

1:46.4

this race is interesting I think similar to UTMB being the world championships the de facto

1:52.5

world championships for the 100 mile mountain distance CCC deserves the same description the same banner

for the 100K category.
