Rachel Entrekin | 2026 Cocodona 250 Post-Race Interview

Finn Malianson· Host0:00

Welcome back or welcome to the Singletrack podcast. I'm your host, Finn Malianson, and in this episode, Rachel Entrickin returns to the show fresh off maybe not just the performance of the year, but a generational performance, an overall course record victory at the 2026 Cocodona 250 last week. We talk about that performance, the atmosphere around it from many different vantage points. We also touch a little bit on her plans for the rest of this year and whether or not she will be back at Cocodona next year. Before we get started, though, uh, there's about a five-minute section of this conversation right around the 20-minute mark until the 25-minute mark, where the audio is a little poor. We had trouble with internet connection at various points, and that was the one part that I had to use a cloud recording for instead of, uh, a source file. So, you'll notice that there. You can still track the conversation. You'll just notice a significant drop in quality for that stretch. And then we had a very similar issue at the very end of the conversation, so when I ask her for her final thoughts before going, uh, it sort of ends mid-sentence. Other than that, great conversation. I think you'll enjoy it. Uh, what else? Thanks to our two presenting sponsors for this particular episode, Norta, makers of my favorite footwear. Uh, if you watched the live stream last week, you saw Rachel Entrickin use their 055 model from start to finish en route to that performance.
