  • Transgrancanaria Classic 2022. From Las Palmas in the north of Gran Canaria to Maspalomas in the South of the island. No one had seen weather like it for any previous edition of the Transgrancanaria. I did the Classic in 2020 is sweltering hot conditions. 6000 metres of ascent and I had been hoping to run it in under 24 hours.
    This year the route changed a little, with more elevation gain but shorter overall distance. But the weather was about to get very interesting.

    Hi Stephen, we met on the start line where I asked you for tips on tackling the race. However I think little did we both know we would be shivering and shell shocked in Artenara aid station - I sat in that very seat as you did draped in two space blankets mustering the will to go on eventually managing it after I could feel my fingers again. Congrats on your finish!

    Stephen, just to survive was enough, to finish was truly awesome. Good to see you both at the airport and the start. Really glad you did it.
    Having now seen what it was like later on I'm glad I didn't have to continue beyond 26.7 miles at CP3 3 where I timed out. I was wet, cold and would have put myself and possibly others in danger had I been carrying on. That mud between CP1 and 2 did me in and the descents between 3 and 4 once everyone else had gone through were quite dangerous. I'm glad you filmed it so it doesn't look like I was making excuses!
    Once back down off the mountain and in the warmth I felt a lot better. Certainly the hardest marathon I have done. Guess I'll be back next year to try again.

    • @FilmMyRun
      @FilmMyRun  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

Amazing effort in those conditions, stunning cinematography, incredible to witness.

    Hi Stephen. Brilliant footage again. See on 8:26 you're wearing your Stryd. What's your experience with it during ultras? How's the battery life and do you see any impact on your CP after these long events? Doing a 50k on Malta in May and am still deciding if I'm going to take my Stryd with me during the race.

    • @FilmMyRun
      @FilmMyRun  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      To be honest I don't take any notice of it during ultra distances. I may look at the data afterwards and I am usually uninspired by it. I do use power in training sometimes on hilly routes to help manage my effort levels. I also quite like seeing the numbers for fast flat races. But I've never managed to utilise Power as my goto metric.
