From Best Shape to Rock Bottom: My Transgrancanaria Nightmare

Video Description

In February, I traveled to the Spanish island of Gran Canaria to take on the legendary Transgrancanaria Classic, a staple of the World Trail Majors circuit. With the best training block of my life under the guidance of coach Tyler Green and sports nutritionist Vic Johnson, I was primed for a breakthrough performance. But ultrarunning has a way of humbling you. What unfolded on race day was unexpected, testing me in ways I never imagined. From soaring highs to rock-bottom lows, this race became more than just a test of fitness—it became a lesson in resilience. Join me behind the scenes of an international ultrarunning experience: the challenges, the mistakes, the surprises, and the moments that made this race unforgettable. Was this a disaster or a necessary setback? You be the judge.
