0:06.1

Malane, Joey Campanelli, Caleb Olson, Morgan Olson, and Scott Hickenlooper.

0:11.8

Without you all, this would not have been possible.

0:15.0

Please know that I am forever grateful.

All right, before we get started, this is a special episode of the single track podcast. If you're

0:21.0

listening on audio, of course, this is single track. But if you're on YouTube, you're watching

0:25.3

through Conversational Pace. You may know that I, Finna Lanssen, co-host the Conversational Pace

0:30.7

1:12.5

250 mile race that he just did. And Finn, actually, that intro that you did was an amazingly

1:18.7

long sentence and very coherent. So hats off to you because it hasn't been that long since

1:24.2

the finish of the race. And, you know, I think the first thing that we

1:29.1

should talk about just real quickly is, you know, how has your recovery been? You know, where I have

1:35.2

no idea what day it is. Sunday. It's Sunday. How's the recovery been, you know, a few days?
