Hey everybody, welcome to all have another podcast with Lindsay Hein. I'm your host Lindsay.

Thank you so much for joining me today. Today, you're listening to episode 171 and I'm

talking with Des Linden. This is my third interview with Des and I had the honor of interviewing her

live in New York City, the weekend of the United Airlines New York City half marathon with the New

York Roadrunners. I'm so honored to be partnering with the New York Roadrunners again this year and I

want to tell you about their virtual racing series which I just participated in my first virtual

race of theirs and it was so much fun. So you might know that I was in New York City for my live

interview with Des and I came home on Saturday but their race the United Airlines New York City half

marathon was Sunday but I needed to get back to my kids. So I went ahead and came home but I signed up

for their virtual race. So I was able to participate in the excitement and actually so their virtual

racing program launched about a year ago and it's in partnership with Strava and you're racing

virtually along with friends and with over 100 other countries. Anytime and you see real-time results

so the cool thing about the half marathon the virtual half this weekend is you had anywhere between

Thursday to Sunday to complete the half marathon and be a part of that and they have really cool

things involved in signing up for their virtual races like guaranteed entries and there are multiple

levels in ways you can sign up. So I encourage you guys to go to nyrr.org slash virtual racing and

check it out sign up to be a part of it and you can check out when their next race is I'm going to

be doing all of their virtual races this year because it's fun and if I'm gonna be running anyway
