Yeah I was really felt fortunate and... and uh... excited to
to race in Spain and race in Europe for the first time
Cavalls del Vent is a race that I've heard about a lot because uh...
Miguel Heras and uh... Kilian Jornet had both run it
in the past so I knew it is a good race, I knew it is in Kilian's home mountains
So I was excited to come over here and
and see what
what the differences are in the European mountain race scene
and it's been..., it's been fantastic
I try not to think about sort of
external expectations when I am racing but
I'm a huge
follower of the sport and fan of the sport so I understand the dynamics that are played here
when it comes to european racing versus north american racing
and racing the top guys in the world and I think em... guys like Kilian and Tòfol and Miguel
are the top mount runners in the world
for sure at least at this sort of distance, you know, 80 kilometres or so
It's important to have... to recognize where your motivations is in the sport
and if your motivation is just to
finish a race that's
that's probably fine but if... I don't think it's going to be as
long-term that way. Because once you finish
one race and maybe you are done with the sport. I think it's important to be uh... motivating
sort of a passion for the mountains and
and that will help you in your training because it will make you more
consistent and discipline and want to get out there more often
Yeah, I think New Balance is definitely been a leader sort if in the MINIMUS running
ground, but uh... myself personally i don't think of minimalism as a kind of
a footwear but much more as an overall philosophy that apply at my running and my life
uh... which is trying to do something as uh...
simply as possible
and in the most elegant way without uh... unnecessarily complicating it
Barcelona is fantastic! The history here is... is incredible and
i find that sort of stuff really inspiring. Just be uh...
the roots of culture still being in place
Having the combination of beach here down
right in the city uh... the mountains just a very short drive away it's something
I really enjoyed experiencing
I don't like to spend a ton of time in cities you know, most of time I'm in the mountains
but uh... it's nice to
to mix it up and uh... experience something new.
