I had a dream of taking part in UTMB, the Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc and materialised it. But the adventures didn't stop there. Ultras go beyond running. They are a pilgrimage. They are adventures. What drives us and what defines happiness. Where does our grit come from? so many questions that I attempt to answer during this incredible odyssey. My vision is to share these learnings through my adventures.

Ohyeah! Since i live on aruba.. we almost neighbors.. ill advise the utmb Ecuador 100%

@@paulmovestrail haha awesome Paul! Go for the 100k! Yeah Ecuador does look cool! I did considering for this year but ended up opting for Kodiak in October. Will keep Ecuador on my radar. Did you do Ecuador?

@@rafaelhidalgo yeah i did the 52k it has 2600m of climbing. And you start at 2900 an goes up to 3700-3800 m. Kinda hard to breathe but its doable. Can you tell me what temperature the race had in your time? Like the highest piek of temperature?

Hey Rafael - long time follower/watcher of your videos. Congrats on the race! I also ran the 100K earlier this year, def a beautiful course! If I'd had know you'd be there, I'd have try to look you up. But, looks like you were running couple hours ahead of me... What other races do you have planned? I got Quebec Mega Trail 100M next week and Transjeju 100K in Korea in Oct. Good luck and hope to see you on a trail somewhere.

@rafaelhidalgo 3 месяца назад

Hey man! Thanks a lot! Oh waw! We were in the same race!! We must have criss crossed at some point I’m sure 🙏 i’m signed up to Kodiak 💯 miles in October. Awesome line up of races tou have there! Globe trotter, super cool! Thats the traveling is also the beauty of these adventures! Where are you based already?

@therealdonquixotedelamancha 3 месяца назад

Kodiac's a cool race I heard. I'm in Seattle, WA. There are lot of great races around the Pacific Northwest (WA and OR), though they tend to be smaller and local than UTMB sponsored races. Stay in touch and let me know if you ever sign up for a race around here. Maybe I'll join you!

This was fun to watch. There is so much adventure in a 100k. I did the 50k. That sun rise was spectacular. I would definitely do Desert Rats again. I knew it would be exposed but I hadn't trained for anything like that and wasn't prepared. It is easy to underestimate the cost of gaps between aid stations when it's that hot. I'm doing Speedgoat in a few weeks and hopefully I'll do better contingency planning. Best of luck with your future races. I'll be at Kodiak as well.

@rafaelhidalgo 3 месяца назад

Thanks Eric! Kudos for your 50k! 🙌 totally agree with the heat issue. Enjoy Speedgoat! Will be seeing you at Kodiak! Which distance are you doing? I will be doing the 100 miles.

@eric-running-to-chamonix 3 месяца назад

@@rafaelhidalgo The 100k. One-hundred miles is still a bit too much adventure 😀 If Kodiak goes well, I may enter the WSER lottery, but otherwise will focus on CCC for 2025.
