Summary

Meaghan Hackinen is your 2024 DOOM female winner and 3rd place overall. On day one she skipped a critical resupply point and found herself leading the field for a good part of the day. Dexter Kopas would eventually catch her and go on to take the win. Overall, it made for some exciting dot watching and resulted in an impressive finish for Meaghan.

Meaghan got into competitive ultra cycling events back in 2016 and she has a long list of good results that include wins and FKT on several courses. Notably, she was the overall winner at the BC Epic 1000 in 2021 and she is the 24 hour World Time Trial Champion where she set a new course record.

Next up, Meaghan is taking on the Tour Divide. She's on my dot-watching list, she should probably be on yours too!

0:05.3	As always, my name is Patrick, and I am your host, and it has been a minute since I released an episode of the podcast.
0:14.5	I am sorry about that. I have absolutely taken on way too many responsibilities, and I've said yes to too many things

1:15.0	She does a pretty great job of introducing herself on today's episode. So I'm going to let her
1:20.7	do that for you. And I am very much last minute scrambling and panicking to get everything ready to get out on the
1:30.8	Arizona Trail. There has been just problem after problem with getting everything ready.

1:46.0	episode. So I'm going to make this brief, but let's get right into it. First off, I'd like to

I love talking about bike packing and getting people outdoors. And that's what y'all specialize in. So I know y'all make primarily two racks right now, the divide and the Elkhorn. and we're going to dig into both of those on these mini pods.
