Ecotrail Geneva 2022 I Ultra Running Motivational Journey

This film is part of a series of Ultra Running Motivational Journey movies taking me along the Ultra Running path.
This race takes us to Geneva on the Ecotrail race which is a 46km with around 1'500m D+ and is part of my training as I increase my load towards the Swiss Alps 100.

So if you feel like you’re lost on the trail, what do you usually do to get back? I was also afraid of getting lost. I don’t even have a smart watch.

[@rafaelhidalgo]

Best is to go in prepared with navigation tools. So easy to lose orientation.Checkout my film on the Kalalau trail. I hadnt put the gpx on my watch and nearly got lost in the jungle.

Very well edited like allwayes ( to much concrete for me), waiting for the swiss alps 100, was a pleasure meeting you.

[@rafaelhidalgo]

Thanks! Yeah was too much concrete for me too 😄 SwissAlps100 coming soon once i get round to producing the other races. Was great meeting you too on the first climb and then a couple of time along the course. After that you were too quick for me haha

Thanks for a great video. Headed to wildstrubel 100k in 2 weeks

[@rafaelhidalgo]

Awesome! Good luck with that beautiful race! I was hoping to do the 50k this year but unfortunately can’t make it.

[@rafaelhidalgo]

Merci amigo!! Haha ouai bientot la PTL de l’’UTMB 😂

[@JeffPelletier]

Nice work! This looks like a fun little event, great views from the top too.

[@rafaelhidalgo]

Thanks Jeff! the views were indeed worth it for sure. Next time you come in the area lets try and do a trail in the Jura.

[@dwipurwantonugroho]

head mount or chest mount for the action cam which one do you prefer?? beside holding it along the run

[@rafaelhidalgo]

Definitely chest mount. Much less invasive than on the head.

[@dwipurwantonugroho]

Thanks for the tips. I'll try documenting my next race like you do...

[@rafaelhidalgo]

@@dwipurwantonugroho awesome! Let me know when you finish the film! Enjoy!

Good to see another video of yours. I did Ultraks Zermatt this year like you did 2y ago I think. Are you planning UTMB?

[@rafaelhidalgo]

Thanks!! Good job on ultraks! Yeah i did it last year. Did you do Sky?

[@rafaelhidalgo]

(Not doing UTMB but going as spectator)

[@miguelmike2555]

@@rafaelhidalgo thx, yes did Sky in 8'43, some downhill sections were brutal and difficult, I lost time especially at the last one down to Zermatt. Downhill needs confidence and relaxation which I lost a bit after I damaged my shoulder last year. Doing Arosa Ultra in 2.5 weeks, but not sure yet, feel very tired haha. You improved a lot, great videos, I watch them always, sometimes several times. Because what you talk about is exactly what I feel too, it feels good to know what others think and how they go into up and downs, mental struggle, physical, calling the objective etc. Very good job mate, keep doing videos pls!

[@miguelmike2555]

@@rafaelhidalgo good, to get the feeling. I wonder how I should do 100k as I was completely exhausted already after Ultraks Sky...maybe different/better pacing?

[@rafaelhidalgo]

@@miguelmike2555 thanks a lot for your support and kid words! Well done on the fast pace on ultraks! Thats faster than me last year! Yeah that last downhill is a killer and that’s where i twisted my ankle… two weeks before the swisspeaks… good luck with the next race!
