All righty, welcome back or welcome to the single track podcast.

I am your host, Finna Lanssen, and this is another episode of our UTMB pre-race interview series.

We're chatting with Jasmine Lothar, a professional trail runner for North Face based in Nelson, British Columbia,

the head of her race later this month at UTMB CCC. Before we get started, though,

this episode is brought to you by gnarly nutrition. NARLY nutrition is a sports nutrition company

based here in my hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah. I use their tropical orange-flavored

fuel-2-0 drink mix on workout days and long runs, and I use their chocolate

flavored plant protein powder mixed into my oatmeal at breakfast on most days. If you're interested

in trying gnarly or you are already a customer and want a good deal for being a single

Jasmine Lothar, it's great to have you back on the single track podcast.

It's super great to be here.

Thanks, Finn, for having me.

So last time we talked, you were just coming off a major, I would say, breakthrough

victory that put you on the map.

It was the Canyons 100K, and you were on top of the world, right? You accepted a golden ticket. You were starting to think about training for that and replicating that canyons performance. But you ended up pulling out and it sounded like you were dealing with some sort of injury. Can you talk about that experience before we dive into the topic at hand, CCC?

Yeah, absolutely.

So, yeah, totally on top of the world.

Felt really good.

Post-Canonians.

Didn't have a doubt in my mind that I wouldn't be able to go to Western

States.
