Thank you Marcus for the wonderful scenery video and recognition. Next time (if ever happens again) just lay down, relax and wait for me and then we can search together for a happy thoughts...The key is, as I mentioned, to focus (completely) as much as you can on something else when on that (bed) state, because if you don't and you still focused on the state you are, that state remains and even gets worse as you experienced. So now you have experience and next time you won't go from the beginning but from that experience. See you at Kullamannen, if not before.

​@@MarcusKjellberg Jeff Pelletier may inspired me to try out trail running & start dreaming about UTMB, but you, Marcus, were the one that made me sign up for Kullamannen 100k race (still not ready for the 100M challenge). I am extremely happy to find out that I will run somewhere nearby you and Ivi this November as you both are legends. Thanks for the content you create!

Congrats for the race and the video you've made! It tells a pretty incredible story and being there at this race myself, I can say you captured the beauty of this race and those mountains! Regarding your DNF, congrats for doing 97 km up to that checkpoint, that no easy feat to do while having stomach issue! What happened do you, happened to my as well starting exactly where your problems started, at Cimabanche and struggled up to Col Gallina, where you have DNF. I was about to quit at the same checkpoint, I was 95% sure I wanted to quit, but luckily, my friend who helped as a support crew pushed me to eat a hot sandwich, a fresh Coke and a bottle of sparking water from the cabin nearby. And a trip to toilet helped a lot. Otherwise I would've DNF, 100% Again, congratulations for your awesome effort to run 97 km, and find the energy to film it and speak to the camera as well. It's not easy at all!

Marcus, you try hard, man of steel. To tell the truth, it was incredibile to see you back in race, Lazarus from the grave, a sort of. Resilient is your second name. Looking your great video, I think you struggled so hard for 12 hours or more. Question: no trouble with glycemia? That was great. You wasn't alle to assume food for a day. Good luck and best eishes for next races. I hope to see you in Itsly next year. Take care.

Those views were just spectacular! A shame that you felt so bad you weren't fully able to appreciate them at the time. You really soldiered on to the bitter end and gave it your all.

@@MarcusKjellberg yeah I was wondering because I don’t do ultras , but I was hiking near you when this race happened in the Dolomites , the beauty is stunning , didn’t realize how much of a hikers paradise it is , hike in the alps often but there is something about the lower altitude and accessibility in the Dolomites… cool thx for confirming maybe one day I try to run it ! The one climb for you all near Cinque Torri is SO intense , I saw the faces of racers , … wow

I’ve been lucky enough to have been able to get my stomach back under control with ginger chews and/or gu roctane electrolytes pills when it has turned. But I hardly have the race pedigree you have. Just has been my limited experience.

That is not what I meant. If you never DNF you might not test the limits and if you test your limits you will at some point also reach your limit which results in a DNF. In this race the plan was to enjoy and stay in the comfort zone but I failed

Ай бұрын

I think your main problem was dehydration.. and toomuch calculating and focusing on time.. you should try to enjoy from start, and when you stomach started to hurt, you'd have to have some coca cola asap, and if it wouldn't be better, should try to throwup, then sleep for half an hour (to rest your stomach) and then eat some real food.. and continue just to enjoy (I'm usually a support at 100 milers to friends - I was even Ivi's few times (when he did some preety nice race records), you should believe me. 😊😉)
