Ultra Smackdown With The Coaches

Exhausted and caffeinated, here we are! Fresh off the Mendocino 50k, the coaches of YT came together to record this ultra smackdown for you. We begin with Coach Liz's recent experience at Lake Sonoma 50 and then move on to the stellar performances of Coach Daniel and BJ at the Mendocino 50k. I take up the rear with a few moments on my experience which was my 4th running of this breathtaking course. We had a blast pulling this episode together and hope you take away many nuggets of gold for your journey ahead.
