0:00.0	Welcome back or welcome to the Single Track podcast.
0:03.0	I'm your host, Finn Melanson, and this episode was recorded live at Single Tracks Olympic Valley Studios ahead of the 2024 Western States 100, where we were joined by Sally McCray, who certainly needs no introduction, especially with this audience, but as you probably knew, Sally raced Western States this year.
0:21.3	And even though this was technically a pre-race interview, so much of what we talked about
0:25.0	was only peripherally related to the event.
0:26.9	So I wanted to save it for a standalone podcast a few weeks on.
0:30.3	Specifically, we talk about the trajectory of her career, how to think about the business
0:34.1	side of the sport as a creator or athlete, and a bunch more evergreen stuff. Honestly, we talked offline after this conversation. I'm very eager to do a round two
0:43.7	deeper dive on many of these, especially sort of like athlete, creator, trail running, business
0:49.1	related topics. I hope you get as much out of it as I did. If you want to watch the full
0:53.4	conversation, which I think is a really cool format.
0:55.7	Instead, head over to the single track podcast YouTube channel.
0:59.0	Before we get started, though, thank you so much to NAC, the nutrition sponsor of the single track podcast for supporting this show, for being a supporter of our race coverage.
1:07.2	Head over to knack.com.
1:08.5	That's spelled N-A-A-K.com to check out their arrangement of awesome performance and recovery based selections and use code single track 20 at checkout on their website for 20% off your next order as I've mentioned recently I am a big fan of their nut butters especially their almond chocolate flavor which combines roasted roasted almonds, flax and sunflower seeds,
1:29.1	coconut oil, and a bit of chocolate to offer the perfect texture and taste on my morning breakfast
1:34.3	toast. Fueling specs include 4 grams of protein, 640 milligrams of BCAAs, 500 milligrams of
1:41.8	super fats, and 120 milligrams of electrolytes.
1:44.9	Again, check it all out at knack.com and use code single track 20 at checkout on their website
1:50.9	to get 20% off your next order.
1:52.8	With that, let's get on to this conversation with Sally McCray.
1:56.0	This is so typical me too.
1:57.8	I'm just like, there's no intro or just already talking.
