Back to 100KM ｜EP05 Pole-Free in the Pyrenees Part2

100 kilometers. The brutal Pyrenees. And absolutely zero trekking poles. The rhythm of modern 100K trail racing is evolving—the pace is getting faster, and the demand for a continuous, high-speed momentum is starting to feel a lot like a 50K. It is my 1st 100KM race since 2023, it is a training and simulation for CCC. To adapt to this new era of racing, I set a ruthless challenge for myself at the Val d'Aran by UTMB 100K: racing entirely pole-free. As the only top-10 finisher to race with empty hands, this was more than just a tactical experiment. It was a profound test of raw physical mechanics, uninterrupted flow, and absolute trust in my own stride. This documentary takes you deep into my Val d'Aran journey. From the pre-race strategy and the grueling climbs in the Spanish Pyrenees, to the ultimate suffering with my blurry vision. I aimed and tried to make TOP 5 and even TOP3. No safety nets, no excuses. Just legs, lungs, and the trail. This is part 2.
