Welcome back or welcome to the single track podcast. I'm your host, Finn Melanson, and these are our final three

Havillena 100 pre-race athlete interviews with Brett Hornig, Heather Jackson, and a virtual roundtable of Joe McConaug,

Blake Slottengrin, and Ryan Raff. Stay tuned for a full race preview episode with Leah Yingling and that same

Brett Hornig that I just mentioned dropping very soon. But before diving in, thank you so much to

NAC for sponsoring this show. NAC spelled NAAK has a special deal for single track listeners where you can

head over to their website and use the code single track 15. The single track portion is in all caps at checkout to get 15% off your next

order. And if you're looking for recommendations in the process, the three products that I have

been enjoying the most lately are their salted soup drink mix, the watermelon drink mix, and their sweet

potato puree. They've also just got a really helpful website in general. They've got a section

that's dedicated to ultra runner recipes. They've got hydration nutritional guides. They've got

race day nutritional guides and recovery-based nutritional guides. And there's just a bunch more there.

So if you're curious, head over to knack.com and go check them out.

Brad Hornig, it's great to have you here on the single track podcast.

Normally you're my co-host on many different versions of the show, but in this episode,

we're actually talking about a ratio of coming up the Havillina 100.

We'll go through a lot of stuff, but any initial thoughts?

Like, what are you feeling right now?

I'm feeling good.

Yeah, I mean, the crew, the Pacers, it's really all coming together.

You know, I feel like kind of last minute, but that's how it happened last year at Havelina.

It went really well.

So perhaps there's something to not actually worrying about the planning part until like two weeks before the race.
