Summary

Fresh of making his first US National Team, Kole Mathison returns to the podcast to recap this incredible race. The last time I spoke with Kole was fresh off of his first XC National Title just over a month ago. Today, I sit down with Kole after this monumental achievement of making a US National team.

In this episode, we discuss his build-up to the race, preparation, mindset, passport stories, favorite drip from the USA kit, and what making his first US National Team means to him. This episode was very fun, insightful, and even impactful. Kole's enthusiasm for the sport is contagious, and I'm confident that you'll walk away from this conversation inspired to chase after your goals all the more.
