I thoroughly enjoyed the Podcast. At Rally there is a great love for the outdoors and I am sure others enjoyed it too. What a fascinating topic. Can we also connect this to the way we develop software? Perhaps. Of course s/w development has not been a critical part of our evolution like running but there is perhaps something in the Tarahumara's love of running that we can relate to.
