Show notes
We're back with the most requested guest of the Free Outside Podcast—except it's just me requesting him. For his third appearance, Derrick Lytle joins the show to break down the Black Canyon 100K with the most in-depth, possibly inaccurate, but definitely entertaining preview out there.
We discuss the dreamers and receivers of golden tickets, the state of ultra running rivalries (hint: we just ignited one), and why Hayden Hawks could still win this race from New Zealand. We also cover influencer participation (or lack thereof), how to look good for the live stream, and public domain excuses you can use if your race goes sideways.
Other highlights include:
🔹 The five archetypes of Black Canyon runners
🔹 A deep dive into the best names on the entrants list
🔹 Wild predictions, race-day advice, and a discussion on whether Stringbean is actually vegan
🔹 Why Spring Energy should pivot to baby food and how the Jeffreys hold more influence than Ultra Runner of the Year
If you were looking for a serious preview, you might be in the wrong place. But if you want satire, questionable facts, and maybe even the best Black Canyon coverage out there—we’ve got you covered.
