After a long race year in 2025, I thought it would be fun to put together a series of videos highlighting some of the things I have learned over my years of racing ultras.
This first video is just an introduction to my summer travels in Europe. I have a list of ideas for what topics will be most helpful to cover, but please comment any suggestions you have! I want this to be a useful resource for exploring all the joys and difficulties that ultra racing entails.
Below you will find links to more info on each of the races I competed in this summer, as well as some links to a few of the brands and products that I love!
