Hello, Bonjour from Chalmany France. Welcome to the Pillars podcast. I am your host, Dylan Bowman,

and it is our last day here in this mountain paradise after 10 incredible days enjoying this year's

UTMB. I can actually still hear people cheering for runners, still streaming to the finish line now.

Greatest race in the world.

And today, my friend and occasional co-host, Corinne Malcolm, joins me to break down the action from the week.

We spend most of our time on the UTMB race, but we also discuss some of the other

storylines from other races.

We talk about obviously the victories of Francois Dane and Courtney DeWalter and their

historical contexts.

We talk about the massive attrition of the race, the continued struggles of American men here at the world's

most important race, the UTMB.

I hope you all enjoy this conversation.

If you appreciate what we do here at Pillars, we would certainly appreciate you supporting

us either on Patreon or becoming part of our great community on the Pillars Training app where we endeavor

to innovate the coaching model in our sport while building friendships and supporting one another

on our journeys as trail runners. You can find links to both those opportunities to support

what we do in the show notes of this episode.

Nothing much else to say here at the beginning.

Thanks to everyone who joined us on the live coverage this week.

It was so fun.

I hope you're not sick of us yet because we are back here on the pod to break it down even more.

Please welcome the Ultra Encyclopedia, the great Corinne Malcolm.
