Hey everybody, Jonathan here.

Just wanted to give you a quick heads up before this special episode of the podcast.

Number one, we're using different microphones, so I apologize if the audio is a little different

than what you're used to.

We're just using them because we're traveling on the road.

Number two, this podcast is recorded outside, so I apologize if there's some different audio there.

Number three, this is a special episode but a normal episode of the

podcast is upcoming this week so you'll get two for one to make up for missing

last week. And finally, Keegan Swenson, our guest who rides for Canondale Three Rocks,

our guest on this podcast, we talk about how to prepare for Park City point to point

or just endurance mountain bike racing in general, which everybody should put that race

on their radar by the way.

But anyways he wanted to make one thing clear that he didn't mention and that's that he does not need to do a six hour race or six hour training ride to do a six hour race.

So we were talking about how to prepare,

and that's something that I've always tried to hit home as well.

You do not need to practice or train for the same duration that you'll face on

race day. You'll be amazed at what your body can do, what you can do for one hour,

you can do for three, heck even up to five hours you'll be surprised.

So anyways, that's's all let's get straight

into this special episode of the mountain bike podcast. I'm your host Jonathan Lee and Stephen is not with us today.

He is across the Nevada desert. I'm in Park City, Utah with a special and returning guest,

Keegan Swenson, how's it going man?
