254 miles. 69h 22m.
Even though it was Zachās body covering the distance, it was his crew and support of friends, family, and event volunteers that really got it done.
You can think youāre racing Cocodona, youāre really just surviving itā¦
Be good to yourself. Do hard things. Have fun.

Day 3. The knee has started filing complaints.
Caked mud as the desert turned alpine was not kind on the tendons ā wondered what was going to give first.
The Flagstaff mountains in the distance are either stunning or a hallucination. Hard to say on minutes of sleep over 3 days.

Night 2.
Glad weāve got that behind us. The body is breaking down ā thatās just what 200 miles does, regardless of what you put in
.
You keep going anyway.

65km. The full length of the Giantās Cup Trail, non-stop through the Southern Drakensberg.
What you see is race day. What you donāt see is everything that made race day possible ā the training blocks, the tired legs, the long runs that nobody clapped for.
Robbie Rorich. Olivia Dubern. Mvuyisi Gcogco. We see you.

Gel in hand. Smile on face. The whole way round.
Sugar. Speed. And a finish line that felt every bit as sweet as it looked.

Itās about time we introduce our North American elite trail team! What an incredible crew it is.
At Open Fuel, we believe in being authentically ourselves: putting in the work every single day to create a product that tastes good and does good, building a business that pushes boundaries while having fun. That same mindset is represented in our athletes.
Everyone brings their own story, their own drive, and their own reason for showing up and putting in the work.
Weāre lucky to get to fuel up such a freakinā squad!
