As promised we are back with Preston Wood for an early talk about the 2026 Hardrock 100 field but we also dive into lotteries in general. We throw some ideas back and forth and may have solved a Hardrock problem (or is it). We have so much respect for RD's and races but open conversation is also very good. We have fun, go deep into lotteries and best of all- we can all have opinions and get along....
