All right, this is the Monday, April 27th edition of the single track news, joined by special,

but also basically regular co-host, Brett Hornig.

Alyssa Clark was in Auburn, California this past weekend, racing the 100-miler and did

Jacob Kiplemao and Yom of Kajelka being like former world champions on the track or world

record holders, not even someone like Elude Kipchogi has that kind of speed to take into the
