What It Took to Win Transgrancanaria Classic

A raw post-race debrief from Transgrancanaria Classic,recorded from the couch while still wrecked. Henriette and Jon unpack what it took to win: midnight start, river running, freezing wind, desert heat, tactical racing, shoe changes, fueling plans, and the small decisions that shaped both races. They also reflect on tapering, training with Ascend, and the key lessons they’re taking into the rest of the season.
