0:00.0	Welcome back or welcome to the single track podcast. I'm your host, Finn Melanson, and in this episode, we talked with Jasmine Lothar, a mountain ultra trail runner based in Nelson, British Columbia.
0:12.4	Jasmine recently set a course record at the 2022 Canyons 100K and in the process punched her ticket to the Western States 100 this June.
0:21.9	In addition to race analysis and expectations for her summer slate of racing, which also includes
0:27.9	the UTMB CCC race, we get to know her background as a mountain sports athlete, what it's like to
0:34.1	live and train in Nelson, what her long-term goals in the sport of
0:38.2	ultra running are, how she thinks about racing, philosophical musings, some talk about climate
0:43.7	change activism, and much more. Let's get started.
0:49.5	Okay, Jasmine Lothar, welcome to the single track podcast.
0:58.6	Thank you so much. Yeah, I'm super excited to be here here today, Finn.

1:46.5	And I think we have a mutual friend, Dave Stevens, who's been on the podcast.
1:50.3	Great guy also had a great performance this past weekend at Canyons.
1:54.0	And I think one interesting thing there is you're both based in Nelson, British Columbia,
1:58.1	which just came on my radar a couple months back,
2:01.1	and it seems like a pretty cool mountain sports town, and it's produced a lot of great
2:06.5	athletes like yourself and Dave.
