I don't think I'll ever race the Leadville 100, but I'm learning anyway. One thing I have wondered: you and Michael were both on The Paceline, and then suddenly you weren't, and then you were both doing this instead and now Selene (I cringe at the nickname "Fit Chick" as much as I do "Fatty" and won't use either)is on the Paceline with Patrick. And then about the same time you started posting here again. It seems like too much happened too fast for it to be a coincidence. Can you tell us what's behind all this if there's a story to tell?as <blockquote>Short version: 1. A few years ago I wrote a highly detailed table of contents for a book about the Leadville 100 and pitched it to Life Time Fitness, but it never went anywhere. 2. I woke up in March in the middle of a night with a moment of clarity: I hadn't outlined a book, I had written a content grid for a podcast. 3. I couldn't sleep the rest of the night and went and checked my book table of contents. It strengthened my conviction: I had written a smart, well-considered content outline; just not for the medium I had ever done anything with back when I wrote the outline. 4. I thought about it for a few weeks, waiting to see if the idea cooled off. It did not cool off. For the first time ever, I was certain of what I wanted to create before I started creating it. 5. I let Patrick know that I had a new project I needed to work on and that I had enough going on in my life that I couldn't keep doing the Paceline at the same time. Patrick invited Selene to be on The Paceline. I'm happy to hear that they've retained the "Pulls and Picks" format Hottie and I designed, and I'm glad Selene's doing a podcast. She's awesome. She and I should have a conversation someday about impetuously-chosen self-titles that follow you for the rest of your life. 6. Hottie agreed to help me on my new project. I am incredibly grateful; he brings discipline and experience to this show. We have produced 24 episodes (6 Season 0 shows, 12 regular episodes, and 6 bonus episodes) in just twelve weeks. That's two shows per week on average. </blockquote> You’ve really found your stride with this podcast — I can hear both you and Hottie are having fun.
