Epidsode 73 - Backyard Ultras part 2 with Laz

Episode 73 was/is a big deal for me.  The documentary, Barkleys, The Race that eats it's young, played a vital role in attracting me to ultra running.  Gary Cantrell, aka Laz, became like a cult hero to me for coming up with such a challenging race where many years nobody finished.  It took a couple more years before I figured out he had other races too.  One in particular, Big's Backyard Ultra, is the main focus of this episode as we discuss the growing popularity of backyard format races, but we do cover other subjects.  Gary is a recent inductee into the ultrarunning Hall of Fame.  He is chock full of stories and statistics from past races.  My only regret is that I couldn't get multiple hours to chat with him about all the things.  You can bet I will be doing it again as soon as I come up with another good reason.  Enjoy!
