| 0:00.0 | Hey, fam. Welcome to the free trial podcast. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Of course, I'm your host, Dylan Bowman. |
| 0:26.0 | And today we are joined by Travis Longer, the head of all things technology here at Free Trail and the creator of both Free Trail Fantasy and Trail Runner of the Year. Travis is back today |
| 0:31.6 | for a very quick episode to talk about the 2023 Trail Runner of the Year vote, which is open now. |
| 0:37.2 | And for the next two weeks, |
| 0:38.5 | over at fantasy.freetrail.com. Much like last year, the Trail Runner of the Year vote will be |
| 0:44.0 | fully democratized and open to all trail fans globally. So please, over the next two weeks, |
| 0:50.3 | go take your time to construct your ballot. We would really love to have you participate. We've |
| 0:55.7 | implemented a new voting tabulation algorithm here in 2023 that waits the votes of a small |
| 1:02.2 | select cohort of people while still giving every single person a say in who the best athletes |
| 1:08.0 | were in the 2023 season. You'll hear us talk about the brand new trail performance of the year award, |
| 1:14.1 | which will debut this year to recognize the great individual performances |
| 1:18.1 | that we've seen on the international circuit too. |
| 1:20.7 | So we encourage you to vote for both. |
| 1:22.9 | Troy and T. Poe individually now or in the next two weeks when voting closes at noon Pacific time on Monday, December 11th. |
| 1:33.3 | Finally, a big thank you to Ketone IQ, who is stepping up to be the presenting sponsor of Trail Runner of the year. |
| 1:39.6 | Much of what we have done in the first couple years of Retail has been driven by what would be good |
| 1:45.4 | for the brand and what would be good for the sport without consideration of how we might |
| 1:49.5 | make it good for our business. And frankly, we just can't operate like that anymore. So it means a |
| 1:54.3 | lot when brands recognize our efforts and choose to support us. So make sure you visit the show |
| 1:59.5 | notes for the discount code you need to get |
| 2:02.1 | 30% off a subscription of this amazing supplement. We'll be dropping also a great episode tomorrow |
| 2:09.7 | with one of the best sports marketers in the business, my former Red Bull manager, Mr. Aaron Lutzi. |
