Wow!!! I think I would have thrown in the towel on this one on the first day .. amazing that u finished so well.... good thing u guys where in a group when u could not find the flags. I would have been scared 💩less..
This was a real adventure, in every sense, just from what you told so far! The documentary will be spectacular, I can already tell :) Also, sounds like you could've used a shoehorn as additional gear for your blister issue ;)
You traveled all the way out there and then nothing seemed to go as planned (to start anyways) and you were able to keep a positive attitude. We need more like you in this world my friend. Well done:)
Was following the daily results for each stage, and was psyched to see that it looked like your prep was spot on. Congratulations, and I will be looking forward to seeing the documentary!
Awesome 👍 job Jeff and congrats 👏🎉 on your achievement including getting chased by big dogs, getting lost etc... Super cool footages and wishing you happy recovery! 🙏😊
congratulations!!! i've been waiting for this update haha (and will obvi have to keep on waiting for the full feature length series.... footage looks incredible!), so happy that you got your result and feel good about the decisions in preparing / packing / etc
Bravo Jeff! The race itself is a huge challenge and there were clearly additional adversities to test your mettle. Your training was perfect and your attitude was excellent. Great combination. I hope you tell us about recovery and getting back to training after this race as well and I really anticipate the full video series. Thanks!
Instead of skipping this video, I see it as a great teaser for the upcoming videos. I just don't know now, if I am looking forward to the landscapes or all the profiles of the amazing people. It's probably both
Huge congrats Jeff. Amazing stuff. So happy for you and the result. Really looking forward to the series. Thank you for sharing and documenting it all!
So I guess the next step would be to win the Gobi march next year then? Or the Atacama crossing? Thanks again for sharing this with us and have a nice recovery!
Great result. Maybe the dogs were there to make you sprint. Georgia by the way, is the home of the Arm Wrestling Champion Levan Saginashvili. But he can't run very far or long :)
The weather was certainly a challenge, but I really enjoyed my experience there overall. I’d like to go back and do some more hiking in the Kazgebi region.
@@JeffPelletier also planning a return as the weather didn't let us summit Kazbek. Trail/Adventure running in the Kazbegi region should be very interesting, but the steep terrain and elevation seem very different from where the Racing the Planet took place.
I’m really proud of Matthew having finished in third place! He donated a kidney just 8 months ago. You’ll hear all about his super inspiring story in my film series to come 📽
Have you ever considered trying to lower your carbon footprint by staying local as much as possible? It doesn’t seem very ethical to fly all the way to Georgia, only to return back to Europe for UTMB soon after.
It's a great question. In the short-term, I've begun to offset the carbon emissions for my flights with the purchase of carbon credits from Gold Standard, but long-term I recognize this isn't a solution. My carbon emissions at home are quite low, but ideally I wouldn't travel for these kinds of international races at all. That's something I've been struggling with since resuming travelling post-pandemic as international travel has always been a passion of mine. Unfortunately, staying overseas from June through end of August wasn't an option for me this year.
still waiting for this series Jeff...I absolutely loved the Namibia series...Love from Iran 🦊🦊🦊🦊🦊

As much as I want to watch this, I paused a few minutes in. I'd rather wait for the series without spoilers. Looking forward to it!
I know you will put together an excellent package for us, can't wait!
This was a real adventure, in every sense, just from what you told so far! The documentary will be spectacular, I can already tell :) Also, sounds like you could've used a shoehorn as additional gear for your blister issue ;)

Wow sounds like quite an experience the first day! Weather was less than ideal, but you still did great! Can’t wait to see the finished series!
Well done Jeff! Looking forward to seeing the whole series!
Great film.
Instead of skipping this video, I see it as a great teaser for the upcoming videos. I just don't know now, if I am looking forward to the landscapes or all the profiles of the amazing people. It's probably both
agreed 100%
Haha! My thoughts exactly. - now I am really excited to see the series. But first the man must recover.
What an incredible adventure! I enjoyed following it on Racing the Planet and am so looking forward to your series.
This is awesome buddy. Congrats, you killed it!!!! 💪💪🏃♂️🏃♂️
Huge congrats Jeff. Amazing stuff. So happy for you and the result. Really looking forward to the series. Thank you for sharing and documenting it all!
congrats!
Can´t wait to see the full series for the race. Great result Jeff! solid performance
Dang, what a race! Can’t wait to see your series on this race. Congratulations!
So I guess the next step would be to win the Gobi march next year then? Or the Atacama crossing? Thanks again for sharing this with us and have a nice recovery!
Congrats Jeff! I look forward to the race series videos.
Well done! Looking forward to the Georgia coverage/series.
Good job Jeff! Looks like a wicked Run
Smashed it!!! 💪
Great stuff! New subscriber
This is a crazy story! Dam!
Can’t wait for the whole series! Congrats Jeff🙏🙏
Great result. Maybe the dogs were there to make you sprint. Georgia by the way, is the home of the Arm Wrestling Champion Levan Saginashvili. But he can't run very far or long :)
Should have brought snacks to distract the doggos.
How did you like Georgia?
I was there doing some mountaineering on Kazbek around the same time. The weather was super unstable and even dangerous.
The weather was certainly a challenge, but I really enjoyed my experience there overall. I’d like to go back and do some more hiking in the Kazgebi region.

Very much so! I spent a couple of days there when I first arrived and it reminded me of Nepal 🙌
Quite odd that You were not allowed (or did not have the option) to have the route on Your gps watches.
Looks like matthew was using speedgoats
Sounds a chaotic first day.
👏👏👏
Waw! That must be so frustrating… having to call race directors… sounds more like a survival race haha
Tell us how you feel about beating Matthew
