AAS Podcast #1 & Neff’s Withdrawal

I just got back a few minutes ago from recording our first podcast, I was trying all morning to get some information to post, but ended up just going with the info we had at the time and recording this podcast. Right before the podcast we got the word that Hugh Neff has withdrawn from the race at the Haven checkpoint earlier this morning, although the information didn’t break until around 11-11:30. I spoke with Dr. Phil, the race director and he said that Hugh withdrew not because he was forced to, not because of an injury to his team or any of his dogs, but simply because of how tough this trail is, and how much more overwhelming it was than he was expecting (see above posts on issue’s with Hugh’s support team) I’ll be following up and trying to get more information as the afternoon goes on.

In this podcast, we talk about the current standings, our conversation with the checker from Safety, race expectations, and early speculation on Hugh Neff’s withdrawal from the race. I want to quickly apologize for the quality of some of the audio, we didn’t hear that it was goofy until it was to late…and I didn’t want to delay getting this thing out. The problem has been resolved and will be better for next time!

We will be recording again later this evening, and either at that recording, or another time tonight I’ve got a sit down interview with Dr. Phil, the race director scheduled that I’ll record and post in its entirety.
