New fan of Preston. Hell yeah, bro. Good luck
First time hearing of this guy I absolutely ADORE him! So authentic & spirited! Beautiful job of Finn with perfect questions to let Preston Cates' colorful personality ignite! 🎉
Great interview. Cool guy. He reminds me of Spencer Brown's energy on the track and roads. Drew Holman and Zach Miller is good comparison on miles but Zach would tear up Drew on the big mountain long game like a UTMB race. That is where the long miles help. It was refreshing to see someone with so much energy and make me smile. He had the Chris Mocko Nike team vibes.
Love this interview on so many levels, Preston sounds like an awesome dude. Good luck this weekend. Full send
