I had a dream of taking part in UTMB, the Ultra Trail Du Mont Blanc... a 170km and 10'000m D+ race around the Mont Blanc Massif. Join me on the adventure of a lifetime where Ultra Running values meet Life values, as I venture across France, Italy and Switzerland. This race transcends the sport... it is a spiritual pilgrimage where I have to dig deep and beyond the strength of the mind and body. This film also attempts to best reflect the emotions experienced at each step of the way whilst also making a detailed depiction of the course and it's difficulty.

This is probably the best UTMB self-documentary I've watched so far. All human emotions were captured so immaculately, the exhaustion, the struggle and the despair, it's far from the glory of what elite athletes can do but I can relate to every second of your journey as a normal being. Not to mention that the narration was beautifully written, I completely shed tears every time I heard the valuable life lesson you shared, indeed becoming is more important than just being. I believe it's not only a race, but it's more of a life-changing journey and I thank that you shared it with us. I wish you all the best for your new season abroad!

Thanks so much Andreas for taking the time to share your thoughts on this film. I am profoundly touched by your words. I’m really happy that you could appreciate the depth of the message I was trying to convey in this adventure. Thanks for following; more films to come on the life journey through epic adventures.

Keep going, Rafael, and thank you for that.

"Short term pain for long term gain" is pretty much the main point of what Jesus was teaching when he said "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” - Matthew 11:28-30. Basically means, do the hard thing now, and you will find it easier in the long run. Great words to live by and to teach kids. Keep up the good, hard work man.

@rafaelhidalgo 2 месяца назад

Amen to that. We have much more to learn than we think from biblical stories and mythology. Those people knew a lot more than we know now. Thanks for sharing, powerful verse indeed 🙏

This is the best UTMB video I have seen, I watched it in one go and you have done a great job describing how you felt throughout the race. Well done for videoing yourself when you must have been in pain and feeling exhausted. I was in Chamonix watching the finishers and I can see myself wearing yellow just before the finish arch. Well done on getting in to and finishing the UTMB and for taking and editing this great video!

@@rafaelhidalgo OMG! What an amazing video. I did finish the race in 2017 and I relived the race with this video! Thanx m8! I had to DNF in 2023 due to digestive issues and hopefully will be able to race this year. We'll see. Anyhow, congrats! Amazing achievement and spectacular video! Great job!!!

Incredible race and even more incredible video. You are talented and hard working guy. Hate to be long winded but maybe this will be a testament to your adventure and sharing with us and the power that has. I had a great season in 2023…2 marathons, a 50 miler, and a 50k but left me injured. I am now in the midst of doing the majority of my training at the gym on an elliptical. I am grateful to do that but it’s not the same. Today I grinded out my “long run” on the elliptical and your documentary was definitely bringing so much joy and encouragement. Thank you for this.

Thanks a lot Megan! Really appreciate your message! It warms my heart! Sorry to hear about your injury… hope it gets better soon so you can go back out there and crush it! Try and stay positive, not easy but do your best 🙌 sounds like you had a great 2023 season nevertheless 💪 thanks for following 🙏
