045. Pikes Peak Ascent | An inside story from the atheltes

Pikes Peak Ascent is a 21km race from Manitou Springs, Colorado, to the top of Pikes Peak, also known as America's Mountain. It climbs 2380m of elevation gain, from 1920m at the start to the 4300m (or 14115 ft) of the finish line. It's one of the most competitive mountain races in the US, that has traditionally had such a great importance for the history and the development of the sport, inside and outside of the United States.

This year the Ascent was chosen to host the 5th stage of the 2022 Golden Trail World Series. It was won by Remì Bonnet (SUI, team Salomon/RedBull) and Nienke Brinkman (NED, Nike/NN Running Team).

It was a great experience and a good race for me: I was 5th overall in a very competitive field of athletes, and I'm quite happy about my 2:12:56 finish.

Besides my little personal achievement, it's been great to share a few days together with lots of amazing athletes and interesting people. The European athletes and media team of the GTWS took the chance to organize a road trip through Colorado, Utah and Arizona in between Pikes Peak Ascent and Flagstaff Skypeaks, that is scheduled for Sunday, Sept 25th.

This episode is an inside story told by the athletes on their experience at Pikes Peak, extending their reflections to their 2022 season.

I hope you enjoy it, and thanks to everyone who has contributed to record this episode!

Give all the athletes a follow on Instagram 😉 it's a great way to support them!
