Welcome back or welcome to the single track podcast. I'm your host, Finn Milanson, and this is a spur of the moment interview with Rachel Entrickin, who just took third at the Keanti 120k over in Italy, a very competitive and thrilling race that took place on Saturday. There was no live stream, but dot tracking, you could tell it was quite the battle between Rachel, Courtney DeWalter, and

Infield Casperson with Courtney putting in a late surge to take the win. Anyways, I was planning to

call Rachel to get some insights for our weekly single track news program, but then I figured

why not record it? Just some heads up, though. I am dealing with some spring allergies right now.

They're typically worse in the morning when we recorded.

So it might sound like I'm sick in this one.

I'm not.

I'm just stuffed up from the allergies.

And then Rachel was recording in an alleyway in Florence.

So I did some work in post-production to fix the background noise, but it was not perfect.

There was also some connectivity issues at the end fix the background noise, but it was not perfect.

There was also some connectivity issues at the end of the Convo, too, but regardless, content is great.

Rachel's details and overall takeaways from the experience are quite interesting.

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.
