0:00.0	Welcome back or welcome to the Single Track podcast.
0:03.0	I'm your host, Finn Melanson, and in this episode we are talking with Anton Kruppitchka,
0:08.0	a professional trail runner for Las Portiva based in Boulder, Colorado, who is preparing for the Ultra Trail Cape Town event series in a few days.
