Sage CanadayGUEST
Um.
Sage CanadayGUEST
Yeah, but I, you know, I saw the media fascination with it, especially with Rachel Entrekin winning this year.
Sage CanadayGUEST
She actually lives near where I live in Colorado now.
Sage CanadayGUEST
So I think the storytelling, the storyline is great.
Gracie KramerHOST
Like we just interviewed.
Gracie KramerHOST
I don't even say just, we interviewed her a few months ago, but Rachel Entrekin, she's, she did the two 50, the coconut two 50 in Arizona.
Gracie KramerHOST
She ran 250 miles.
Gracie KramerHOST
This girl's 32.
Andy Jones-WilkinsHOST
I've got to say I've really enjoyed season 15, in which we have had what I've called the Encore Series, where I've invited some of my past guests back to get caught up with them and talk and see what's going on.
Andy Jones-WilkinsHOST
Of course, last week we had Jason Koop, and a couple weeks ago we had Rachel Entrekin.
Andy Jones-WilkinsHOST
We had Canyon Woodward way back in the first episode.
Andy Jones-WilkinsHOST
It's just been a blast.
JennyHOST
Yeah, well, I wonder whether she's been kind of inspired by other female results.
JennyHOST
I mean, it started off, I think, with Rachel Entrekin at Cocodona.
JennyHOST
And then Sophie Woods broke the Via Alpina overall record.
JennyHOST
And I think I think, you know, some of the elite women are realizing maybe some kind of ceiling has been broken, that we can now push through and, you know, believe in and, you know, our limits being a bit higher than we previously thought they were.
Leigh GlandorfGUEST
I think what's always neat about it is to see that filter through lots of different people's lens so that we have like more than one way to show up as feminine on the trails, which I think you're starting to see.
Brendan LeonardHOST
Not to completely shift gears, but you wrote a piece called Rachel Entrekin Wins the Cocodona 250 in $30 Shorts and a Party Shirt.
Brendan LeonardHOST
And one sentence that I really liked was you said, one thing I find appealing about the trail and ultra scene is the way it rejects the standard performance, quote unquote, look that's so pervasive on the roads.
Brendan LeonardHOST
Could you talk about that just a little bit?
Sage CanadayHOST
But if we look at traditional distance running from 5K, 10K on the track to marathon world records to most of the established ultra records, including UTMB 100, The women still are generally eight to 10 percent behind the men's record.
Sage CanadayHOST
Now, we realize the relative sample sizes are kind of getting small because then you get into Cocodona 250 and you're like, well, Rachel Entrekin won and she set the overall course record or you get into these, you know, three day, six day, multi day events where the women are.
Sage CanadayHOST
have closed the gap even though there's less women competing still um but they're high quality athletes they're amazing athletes you know but whether or not they close that gap is beside the point i think because you still should separate you know if you want equal representation of a women's world champion and a men's world champion like you do in pretty much any other sport, you still need to have separate divisions there.
Sage CanadayHOST
It's not just this free for all because what we're seeing is that there are less women represented at bigs backyard world championships.
