Transgrancanaria 128km Classic 2020

Full race blog filmmyrun.com/t...
In March 2020 Richard and I travelled to Gran Canaria to run an absolute classic race. The 128km Transgrancanaria is only one of a number of races over the week but it's the original and the best.
It is supposed to have 7500m of ascent, but from my research and from my own race data, it seems to only clock up around 6000m. But it is still one of the toughest races I have done. Particularly after the first 50km it is a brute of a run with some of the most technical terrain and some of the steepest descents.
The race was won by Pau Capel for the 4th time and Kathryn Gerbin won the women's race. Harry Jones from the UK came 4th and I managed to interview him after the race. The full version of that interview is here. • Harry Jones in 360 | 4...
I used the new Kandao Qoocam 8k 360 camera for this project and it was a disappointment to be honest. It didn't record at all on a number of occasions, so I lost a lot of footage, and when it did record the stabilisation was poor and there is a marked colour difference between the front and rear lenses. Not great and the film would have been much better otherwise. So unless there are some big improvements, I won't be using the Qoocam 8k again.

[@johngardner1898]

Very impressive. Great that your family was there too! 🙂

[@amygreen1015]

An absolutely stunning location. Some of your climbs look so dangerous, but worth it for the views

[@chosenscv]

Solid video recap of this amazing event! Hope to get back there in 2021!

[@daveadams3989]

Great running stephen as always it’s a tough race but stunning great video again 👍👏

[@austinwainwright6359]

Glad you finished man. I said hi to you just before the gun went off. Sadly I only made it before half way before acute tendinitis in my knee made it impossible to even walk the descents. Loved every second though and watching this just reminds me how much I want to line up at the start next year!!

[@FilmMyRun]

Oh no. Same happened to another guy we met at the start. It's definitely a tough one. I found the first 50km was fairly straightforward but the rest was a killer. I definitely struggled but I had four DNFs last year so I was determined to finish! Will come back again in a couple of years. Tenerife Bluetrail again next year.

[@exhibitscotland360]

Awesome effort all round!

[@run_like_buck]

Great running! I did the Marathon and can confirm that section was insane even in the light of the day!

[@tymckeown3489]

The perfect tonic in these times, another great video, love seeing the Serpent T out there...keeping my fingers crossed it goes ahead in july.🤞

[@trailrunningphil]

Well I’m in awe of that race. That looked so tough! A brilliant video. You really have nailed this 360 video shooting and editing. Thanks for putting this together :)

[@guillaumearnold457]

Congrats for your race and thanks for your great video!

[@PaulCoatesTrailRunning]

Bonkers as always. Love it

[@namits3775]

Great video - well done

[@alenseretinek]

Great and instructive video, (liked and subscribed), I can now talk about as a Qoocam 8K camera user. I think in the end we can be pleased with how everything turned out (of course it took a lot of your time and advanced knowledge to put this all right and there is also a lot to be improved), but this is a great example of how this promising camera works right now. I wish as many users looked at this, (especially KanDao and more advanced users like Hugh Hou, Yuqing Guo, 360Rumors, Ben Claremont, just to name a few, think of anyone who can contribute to point out mistakes) that we can all help develop this camera to perfection, accessible to ordinary people, as easy to use as possible. P.S. Will post the same on Facebook group, cheers.

Watched your Salomon Pulse Belt review and it brought me to this upload. Amazing race. Amazing location. Enjoyed watching it. Trail running videos are what’s keeping me sane and motivate during this lockdown period. Btw, it looked like you were using the Salomon Pulse belt during the race.

[@FilmMyRun]

Yes, love my Salomon belt. Use it all the time.

[@liznoakes1493]

Very inspiring. Top of my list now! Great running. Many thanks.

[@stuartt2240]

great film :) Rach & I did the marathon in 2019, which has some tricky terrain and i know the descent you mention.. definitely wouldn't want to do that in the dark! great week of events and well organised, looking forward to a return

[@damienberruex7728]

Hi. We met at Roque Nublo after the race. I hope we have not run the last race of the year... Keep on making videos ! Cheers from Chamonix !

[@FilmMyRun]

Damien Berruex was great to meet you. I’m hoping to be in Chamonix in August!

[@DJ-qs6jx]

Great effort 👏🏻

[@1976aguayo]

Felicidades 🏃🏽‍♂️🙌🏻

[@iberiksoderblom]

Free servings of Corona... But a very beautiful run.

[@joeclark2553]

Yeah can't believe this took place.....Beautiful there

[@FilmMyRun]

@@joeclark2553 It happened the week before Gran Canaria went into lockdown. Probably one of the last major running events to take place.

[@markwalsh6714]

Brilliant well done.

[@吴佳妮-m8u]

return

[@maddogrunning5589]

Well done Stephen and Richard. Fantastic effort. What time did Richard finish in

[@FilmMyRun]

Richard managed just over 22 hours. Me just over 26

[@ozwald76]

Well Done 👍 What trail shoes you running in? Awesome vid, always enjoy your adventures 💪👍🍻

[@FilmMyRun]

Hi Clive, the shoes are Hoka Evo Speedgoats

[@ozwald76]

Film My Run ideal, been looking at them myself lately, Speedgoat 4, I’m based in Cornwall and was looking for a pair of trail shoes for our woodland/coast path/ trail / moorland type terrains.🏃‍♂️ good luck on yopur next run👍 all the cornish races are been canciled or posponed now doe to the current events. take care and stay safe everyone 💪👍 Keep on Running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

[@kzsposeidon3121]

Your complaint about the camera: tbh, what did you expect from a GoPro knock off...

[@FilmMyRun]

With all the firmware updates it is a lot better than it was. Not sure why you think it's a Go Pro knock off. It's doesn't look or behave anything like a GoPro really and isn't even marketed as an action camera. But anyway, there we are.

[@gabriellakyriacou3488]

Is there a chance a person can get lost? Well done though super

[@FilmMyRun]

Hey Gabriella. No not at all. I had a map on my watch but I didn’t need it as the course was easily marked.

[@wideawake914]

that man at the food station should have a shirt saying stressed out not chill out.

[@wealrok]

What sort of head lamp were you using?

[@FilmMyRun]

Ross Kirkpatrick hi Ross. I have a Petzl NAO+
