This is the Monday, May 18th edition of Single Track News, joined by Alyssa Clark.

0:05.5

And Alyssa, I have a question for you.

0:07.6

Let's go.

0:08.8

Given that it's May 18th, the final day of the Kokodona lottery, I must ask, is your name in said lottery?

0:15.4

You surprised me on that one.

0:18.9

No, no, it's not.

0:24.2

I did notice that, and I thought about it for a second.

0:30.3

I'm not quite ready to go back to 200s yet. We'll see. I also brought it up to my husband.

0:37.4

And if you watch the office, you know the scene with Michael Scott where he goes, no, God, no, no. That is basically his reaction to 200s. I think I scarred him. So it is not. Is yours? Yeah, it's there. It's, it's there. Nice. Okay. Yeah. I mean, I remember like all when the coconut on a live stream is going on, you know, Jules and now are washing together together. And she just on the third day, she's like, you know, Finn, you've been really sad these past few days. Like I have never seen you experience FOMO in your life. And I really don't have FOMO. I actually typically, what's the opposite of FOMO? Fobie, fear of being included. I experience fear of being included. That is what I experienced. But I experienced FOMO at Kocodona this year. And she's like, we got to go back. And so I think I was a little sad that I wasn't there. So I'm going to try to get back in. But I think based on all this, your work on the live stream, Rachel Entrican, blowing the doors off this event, we're probably going to have a 4,000 or 5,000 people applying. And so who knows?

1:35.6

Yeah. Well, I think, I mean, I will recommend you for the commentating team if you do not get in. I think you'd be amazing at that. So.

1:43.4

Okay. Well, anyways, Zag you'd be amazing at that. Okay.

1:47.6

Well, anyways, Zagama results.

1:50.2

Let's lead off this news edition with Zagama.

1:52.1

The 25th edition took place this weekend.

1:54.6

The first year of this year's Golden Trail World Series as well.

1:58.9

We even had an American outlet, I Run afar on the ground, covering, which was awesome.

2:04.9

El Huzine and Tovey win in 345-07 and 408-09, respectively. Tovey broke Nick A. Brinkman's 416-44-course record, which has stood since

2:10.8

2022.

2:13.6

Shattered it.

2:13.8

Shattered it.

2:14.8

I mean, shattered it.

2:16.2

And let me just give you a bit more context before I get your take here. The performance is even more mind boggling when you throw in the conditions. It was extremely muddy on already extremely technical trails. And she went almost 30 minutes under a time that I thought was capable of winning this race in typical years on a dry day.
