All issuesOn the right coast, we congratulate everyone who braved the cold and crushed the NYC Half. It felt weird not being there, but spiritually, we were hovering the course like a perfectly controlled drone camera. You know the one.
It must also be mentioned that Malcolm used the LA Marathon as a shakeout run (really) for his TSP Solo 300+ mile odyssey, where he is currently in the middle of the desert, gathering more infinite wisdom as he heads straight for the dance floors of Las Vegas.
Ok, that's enough Carmen Sandiego-ing for one Thursday morn. Next week we're dropping something special... Maybe keep your Saturday free? This week in the B-Mail: Malcolm's refreshing philosophies, taking the bridge (and the dub) in LA, a guy who knows a thing or two about ultras on the pod, learning from Steady, and throwing it back to the vids that kicked off this whole Bandit thing.
01
Bandit's first ever sponsored athlete is back for the second consecutive year of The Speed Project Solo. We asked Malcolm about his philosophy for racing 300 miles through the desert and met him at the start. (Update: Malcolm's crushed over 220 miles as of the sending of this B-Mail.)

Bandit OTQ'er and LA transplant, Johnny Hogue, is starting to settle in his new home city. Take the Bridge over the weekend ran, quite literally, through our pop-up. Rossi on the camcorder promptly ensued.

Exactly a year ago, we told a three episode story called "Work In Progress" about re-launching Bandit and wear-testing our first prototypes while competing for the win at The Speed Project. It was a doozy. Watch them all today and maybe even start in reverse order? We've since aged 1,000 years each. Enjoy!
