Hey, folks, welcome to the adventure sports podcast. I'm your host, Mason. Today we're throwing it back to

0:25.6

2017 when we had Brittany and Frank Concella on the show. They have been on the show a number of times in the past.

0:34.2

And this one was really cool, skiing 14ers in public lands access. A lot of y'all

0:38.6

who are listening, we are getting into ski season. So this is pretty exciting content. I, on the

0:44.8

other hand, I'm in the other end of the spectrum. It's warm, it's sunny, and I'm on the water. So this

0:51.4

weekend, I'm going to be commentating at the last paddler standing,

0:56.3

which we talked about a little bit on Monday's episode or Tuesday's episode. And yeah,

1:01.6

it's going to be a paddleboard race put on by another alumni of the show, Greg Wingo,

1:07.0

who does the Alabama 650 as well. And it's this 24-hour, basically round-the-clock race until there's

1:13.6

one paddler standing. And last year it lasted almost 50 hours. So check out the show notes

1:18.6

on Tuesday's episode with John Nippers. And there's a link where we will be live streaming.

Thank you so much for tuning in to the Adventure Sports podcast again today.

1:57.8

Kurt here, I have returning guests, Frank and Brittany Concella, and this is, I guess,

2:04.0

the fourth time to have them on. They're becoming regulars in the program now, which is awesome,
