0:00.0	Welcome back or welcome to the single track podcast. I'm your host, Finn Melanson.
0:05.2	In this episode, Rod Farvard returns to the podcast for a third time this year,
0:11.0	this time to talk about his experience at UTMB Chamonie, life-changing experiences recently in Thailand,
0:18.2	and offer some more thoughts on a recent free trail article he wrote about
0:22.0	pursuing our passions in this sport of ultra running. Before we get started though, this episode is

0:48.9	time in 2022. I know, Finn. I feel like we're getting so close. We should have some sort of recurring segment at this point, but the last time we
0:58.0	chatted, it was pre-UTMB back in August, and by my observations, you had a great race, although
1:06.0	it's a part of the human condition to be, I guess, never fully satisfied. And I'm sure you fall into that scenario all the time as a pro runner.
1:17.1	Were you still happy to some extent with the way UTMB went this year?
1:21.7	Yeah, I think satisfied is a really good word to use.
1:33.7	I feel like I had a good race given the cards I was dealt on the day. I feel like I had my best day I possibly could on the day given like how bad I was
1:40.3	feeling early on and stuff. And we could kind of talk about that as well.
1:49.0	But as far as me giving my best performance possible there,
1:52.2	I definitely don't think I did that.
1:56.2	But I am happy with how I executed.
1:59.3	So I would say I am satisfied with how it went,
2:01.9	but I do feel like I have a lot more to give on that type of course in that day. I'm assuming at some point you'll be back, maybe as soon as
2:08.6	next year, maybe we'll talk about that later in the episode, but in your opinion, what do you
2:12.5	think it's going to take in training and also from an execution standpoint on race day to get to that next level.
