Thats exactly how i felt when i finished the Seville matathon!😂
@@alandolan7125 haha reaching the limit
Best one yet Rafa! Always motivates me to keep going in sport and in life. Cant wait to start Autumn season!!
@@alandolan7125 thanks a lot Alan! Keep up the great work in sport and life 🙌
Sure feels different watching this video having just experienced it in real life. Thanks again for this video - helped a lot with preparation
@@adrlwr thanks for Our message! kudos for completing the loop! Its a tough one indeed! But you managed! Followed you on the live tracking 🙌
Hi Rafael, I would like to thank you so much for your UTMB videos. I finished yesterday. I watched your race video so many times and picked up many great tips and perspectives from it. Also the gear video was great. I was traveling from Australia so had no experience in the alpine terrain, again your videos really helped me to visualise what the course would be like. Thanks so much again.
@@vp102 fantastic! Congratulations! Stoked you completed the loop and that the films helped you! Thats a lot for dropping a line! 🙏
damn I somehow missed that you moved to the Bahamas! nice video as always, cheers from Switzerland!
@@little-pwnie thanks! Yup moved exactly one year ago right in the middle of UTMB haha
All of the planning tips are super helpful! Thank you for the video recommendation 🙌
@@SiriusScientist thanks! Yeah its not easy to balance everything. But with planning you can make it happen. All depends how much you want it.
Thank tou Raffael, very helpful, I will do my first UTMB tomorrow ! I really loved your UTMB vidéos 🙏
@@patrickfun1394 thanks Patrick! Enjoy the ride! Its a great adventure!
Amazing video, gets me energized for my rim-to-river adventure in the spring.
@@mr.palmer6462 awesome!! Thanks! Enjoy the ride! I will hopefully do it one day too 🙏
Great tips !!! I hope to run CCC next year if I am Lucky with lottery! But this tips are also great!
@@MarcoLerga thanks a lot! Hope you can make it into CCC! 🙌
Good luck to you!
@@AckerQ. not doing it this year but wishing all those who are a great race 🙌
It's great that you completed this challenge! Your experience and spirit will inspire more people to participate in the challenging sport of trail running. Salute to you!
@@Haimont-Vela thank you so much. Sometimes I ask myself whether these films are worth the effort; whether the messages I am trying to convey resonate in people. So your message raises my spirits! Thank you so much!
I’m moving trail running in the Grand Canyon back up the list. Thank you for sharing the beauty and insight for the trails there! Which race are you doing in California?
@@SarahReppert awesome! You’re gonna love it! Doing the Kodiak by UTMB 💯 miles; it’s at Big bear lake 🙌
It's very inspiring. Great to see the beautiful scenery and to hear your reflections.
@@feridunnnn thanks! Stoked you enjoyed it 🙏
I am glad you had great visibility while at the Grand Canyon? Your choice of music is very good. I am sure your children had a great time in Arizona, Utah and Wyoming. Never been to Monument Valley on a clear day; hope you had good luck on that day.
@@gmckemie4281 thanks a lot! It sure was amazing views! Will be doing a film on the adventures in Wyoming and monument valley as well 🙌 thanks for your message 🙏
Nice view.
@@deathzero926 it was indeed an incredible adventure!
Another class video and info 👍
Thanks!
Nice vids! Do you have any recommendations on how to get to the first 5-10% of the starting field? It's just one big wave right? What's the best place to access the start wave / how early do you need to be there / can you just hop a fence if needed?
@@gersom3318 thanks! If you want to be at the front you gotta get there over two hours before the start. No way of hoping over fences.
@@rafaelhidalgo Haha thanks!
Damn it, i was finally thinking about the 50k until i saw your video. Makes me want to do the 100😅
Ohyeah! Since i live on aruba.. we almost neighbors.. ill advise the utmb Ecuador 100%
@@paulmovestrail haha awesome Paul! Go for the 100k! Yeah Ecuador does look cool! I did considering for this year but ended up opting for Kodiak in October. Will keep Ecuador on my radar. Did you do Ecuador?
@@rafaelhidalgo yeah i did the 52k it has 2600m of climbing. And you start at 2900 an goes up to 3700-3800 m. Kinda hard to breathe but its doable. Can you tell me what temperature the race had in your time? Like the highest piek of temperature?
@@paulmovestrail in desert rats must have been 35 centigrade i think
@@rafaelhidalgo pfoee that’s tough man! 🥹
Wow! Goosebumps thru out your entire video.. what a story you have shared. If not the best video, better than any professional documentary, truly emotional. I was glued to the tv all the way to the finish crossing.. Big Congratulations and THANK YOU!
@@claudiobravo6177 thanks a lot Claudio! So stoked you enjoyed it!! 🤩 I’m so happy you were able to experience the emotional roller coaster that was this adventure 🙌
This was a great documentary! Congratulations on finishing the race and thank you for sharing your experience. My husband will be running the race at the end of the month and I will be crewing him. Watching your documentary (especially the perspectives from Sebastien) is definitely helpful.
@@kshanh543 thanks so much! Stoked you enjoyed it! Crewing is a ultra sport in and of itself 🙏 good luck you will enjoy it!
Since UTMB 2024 is nearly around the corner , then this video coming up in my wall . This is the best documentary video i ever seen so far . Congrats to you

Great video - thank you!
Thanks Christian!
Another amazing adventure Rafael, wonderfully narrated so we get a great sense of your journey. Well done completing such a tough race and sharing this 👍🏻
Thanks a lot David! Appreciate the kind words and stoked you enjoyed it!
As usual, excellent. I really enjoy your video logs. You are the first of-the videographers who has mentioned the possible hazards of trail running. I fell three years ago and, in the words of my French doctors, as I live in Paris, I pulverized my shoulder. It has made me paranoid about running fast.
Thanks for the support! Sorry to hear about you fall!! That mist have been horrible!! I am also paranoid of going fast! So easy to trip and hurt ourselves badly! Hope you are better and can safely hit the trails again 🙏
Once again, dream-like places and inspiring thoughts! Thank you.
Thanks! Stoked you enjoyed it! Makes it worth it! 🙌
🎉gréât atmosphère 😊
Yeah great people!!!
Rafael, top class video as always! Very well done in what looked like difficult conditions. Cheers and look forward to more 👍😃
Thanks a lot mate! 🙌
This was fun to watch. There is so much adventure in a 100k. I did the 50k. That sun rise was spectacular. I would definitely do Desert Rats again. I knew it would be exposed but I hadn't trained for anything like that and wasn't prepared. It is easy to underestimate the cost of gaps between aid stations when it's that hot. I'm doing Speedgoat in a few weeks and hopefully I'll do better contingency planning. Best of luck with your future races. I'll be at Kodiak as well.
Thanks Eric! Kudos for your 50k! 🙌 totally agree with the heat issue. Enjoy Speedgoat! Will be seeing you at Kodiak! Which distance are you doing? I will be doing the 100 miles.
@@rafaelhidalgo The 100k. One-hundred miles is still a bit too much adventure 😀 If Kodiak goes well, I may enter the WSER lottery, but otherwise will focus on CCC for 2025.
Hey Rafael - long time follower/watcher of your videos. Congrats on the race! I also ran the 100K earlier this year, def a beautiful course! If I'd had know you'd be there, I'd have try to look you up. But, looks like you were running couple hours ahead of me... What other races do you have planned? I got Quebec Mega Trail 100M next week and Transjeju 100K in Korea in Oct. Good luck and hope to see you on a trail somewhere.
Hey man! Thanks a lot! Oh waw! We were in the same race!! We must have criss crossed at some point I’m sure 🙏 i’m signed up to Kodiak 💯 miles in October. Awesome line up of races tou have there! Globe trotter, super cool! Thats the traveling is also the beauty of these adventures! Where are you based already?
Kodiac's a cool race I heard. I'm in Seattle, WA. There are lot of great races around the Pacific Northwest (WA and OR), though they tend to be smaller and local than UTMB sponsored races. Stay in touch and let me know if you ever sign up for a race around here. Maybe I'll join you!
@@therealdonquixotedelamancha awesome mate you are privileged to live in that area! For sure will let you know if i go there. Next year i have Canyons on my radar in case you are up for it 🙌
It has been years since I ran Desert Rats, it is a beautiful course but it can be very hot. Congratulations!
Thanks a lot! You gotta come back to do it again 🤗
