All right, this is the Monday, June 15th edition of single track news, joined by Alyssa Clark.

Alyssa, how are you doing today?

I'm doing well. Just loading up the van to head up to Olympic Valley for the next couple weeks.

So, gosh, it feels like we, trail running is here.

The season has begun.

It's already begun.

It's ever stopped.

Yeah, we were just talking about the soft line, and I didn't tell you them, but it's coming to me now.

I want to see, well, if people have the capacity, I like this idea of just like slowly making your way to the start line.

Like the rate your races start Friday. You're starting this trip out of Monday. Nice leisurely

drive up towards the race. Just like taking it. It doesn't have to be like the night before.

It's like just I like that. I like extending out that that trip. I mean, I'm also incredibly fortunate.

Not everyone gets to do that.

A, I own a van that I lived in for a few years.

B, I get to drive the Sierra to get up there.

I think that's $3.95, that gorgeous highway.

So, like, yeah, I'm going to take my time.

I think it's one of the most beautiful drives in the country and see, I mean, other than running, I can work on

the road. So yeah, I'm just going to enjoy it. I'm not going to try to rush. Finn, how are you?

I'm doing, you know what? I'm doing, I'm doing good. I'll say this. As I get older, certain things in our sport become more appealing to me. One of those things is volunteering at races. And I was able to captain an aid station at a race called the Snow Peaks 50 this past weekend outside of Provo, Utah. Classic 50-mile race here on the Wasatch.

I think it's been, I think they might have just celebrated their 25th edition, maybe even longer.

So it's been on the scene.
