Welcome back or welcome to the single track podcast. I'm your host, Finn Melanson, and this is another

edition of the Long Run Archives. I'm joined by friends, colleagues, Brett Hornig, and Jeff Colt to react

longer form to a bunch of Ultraltar news. We go deeper on the Snowdonia and JFK controversies,

play a fun game of overreaction, underreaction to a few race and athlete-related hypotheticals

and analyze a few IG reels that went viral in our community recently.

One thing to note on the Snowdonia topic, I mentioned it in conversation that I was able to connect

with Florian Lamblin, the executive director at UTMB group about this issue.

After recording, I got some additional info from him via text,

which is worth relaying here.

Regarding this whole controversy,

they will be offering free transfer to any 2026 UT&B World Series event

or free deferral to any 2027 Snowdonia distance

and will handle refund requests on a case-by-case

basis. Okay. With that, let's get into it. The Singles Track podcast is brought to you by Norda,

the official footwear partner of the show. And if you're getting ready for a race this spring or

summer, I must recommend to you. Their zero-zero-five model, it's the lightest, fastest, most stable super shoe on the market right now. Alongside the 055, I'll be using it at key races all season long. Don't wait. Go check it out, norda run.com. Today's episode is also brought to you by precision, fuel, and hydration. If you've ever blown up late in a race, chances are your fueling plan, that's carbs, sodium fluids, wasn't quite right. Precision has a free fuel and hydration planner that helps you figure out exactly what you should be taking in per hour based on how you've trained your race and the conditions out there. I have been using it recently while dialing in my own

race nutrition strategy. I have seen the benefits. If you want to try it up for yourself again,

it's free, head to precisionhydration.com forward slash planner. We're back long run archives number

37 joined by friends, colleagues, Brett Hornig, Jeff Colt. Brett, how are you doing today?

Dude, I'm doing good.

I'm just writing in my notes right now that it's episode 37 because the last few episodes,

I was like, I don't know what number we're on.
