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.
