In this episode, we take a nostalgic look back at an episode from 2017 with trail veterans Bob Crowley and Tim Twietmeyer. We revisit "Sh#@ You Don't Do On the Trail," where we covered the essential unwritten rules of the trail and aid stations that every runner should know. From the infamous "snot rocket" technique to the delicate art of avoiding "double-dipper," Bob and Tim shared their invaluable insights with humor and wisdom. Whether you're a seasoned ultrarunner or new to the sport, this episode is packed with tips to help you navigate the trails with grace and respect. Enjoy this trip down memory lane and refresh your trail etiquette knowledge with us!

Tim Twietmeyer is Vice President of the Western States Endurance Run Board and board member since 1996. He is also the only person to finish the race 25 times....all under 24 hours.

Bob Crowley is a past president of ITRA, the International Trail Running Association, and a seasoned runner with notable finishes of over 80 ultras including 2019's Tor des Geants and the 2023 Tahoe 200 mile race.

Both are members of History Expeditions, where they take their passion for history and bring it to life through expeditions that combine historical research and adventure. So far they have completed four expeditions. You can find out more at historyexp.org.

Dr. Rob Bell discusses his book 'No One Gets There Alone' and emphasizes the importance of relationships and connectivity in achieving personal and professional goals. He shares a personal story of receiving help during a race and how it changed his mindset. The conversation explores:

• Success is not solely a product of individual effort; relationships and connectivity play a crucial role.
• Helping others can improve our own performance and mindset.
• Competition is about competing against ourselves and overcoming our own mental barriers.
• Treating others differently and offering support can have a significant impact on their performance and well-being.
• Changing our language and self-talk can positively influence our mindset and performance. Helping others not only benefits them but also helps us grow and improve.
• Shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset opens up opportunities and fosters cooperation.
• Choosing the right models and looking beyond the top achievers can provide inspiration and guidance.
• No one achieves their goals alone; we all need support and encouragement from others.

Some of the other podcast episodes we have done with Rob revolve around a couple of other books. Most recently, "I Can't Wait to be Patient" and "Puke & Rally".

What if there was a way to instantly diagnose and address running issues right on the trail?

In this episode, we talk about the new Trail Triage app. We speak with the team that developed the app answering these and other key questions:

• What is Trail Triage?
• Why was it developed?
• How can it help me on my training runs and racing?
• How do I access it?
• Where does the content come from? Can I trust it?
• How much does it cost?

Trail Triage is an innovative new tool that can assist runners, pacers, crew, and aid station volunteers tackle common challenges during runs. Trail Triage is a free mobile app that currently identifies 13 common issues a trail runner might be faced with. The app then helps you diagnose the issue, and provides some solutions that might help and let you know if it is serious enough to DNF or not.

This is the team who brought this vision to life:
• Bob Crowley, who sparked the original idea;
• Dr. John Anderson, a seasoned emergency physician whose medical insights are woven into the core of the app; and
• Scott Vosburg, the tech wizard who turned these ideas into reality.
