In today’s episode, Dani and Emkay drop a quick-hit preview of the Canyons 50K happening this weekend in Auburn.

We’re both a little in the deep end of life right now, Emkay is in Madeira (with some very real Wi-Fi struggles), and Dani is in the middle of moving and navigating all the life things. But we still wanted to show up and cover one of our favorite races on the calendar.

We break down:

• Our top 3 picks for both the men’s and women’s races

• And why the women’s course record (👀 currently held by Dani) could very realistically go this weekend based on conditionsThis one’s short, punchy, and to the point.

Also, thank you for bearing with us during this little break.

We’ve been respecting our energy and bandwidth during a busy stretch of life, but we’re excited to get back into rhythm. Expect more episodes throughout May, and then a full ramp into summer once Emkay is back from Madeira and Dani is settled post-move.

We appreciate you being here ❤️
