**TAHOE RIM TRAIL PREMIERE**

Movie Premiere with live chat this Friday August, 2 - 6pm PST. I’ll post the link as soon as possible (maybe tomorrow morning?). Again, right under the wire before my next race... Seems 2 weeks is a bit tight to produce these ultra running documentaries, but really wanted it out before my next race. Such a cool race to share with you all!

In this ultra running documentary, I bring you along as I race the Tahoe Rim Trail 100 Miles Endurance Run. It's my 10th 100 miles ultra marathon this year, only 2 weeks since Quebec Mega Trail 100 miles....and what a treat! As they say - a glimpse of heaven.

Tahoe Rim Trail 100 Miles Endurance Run was highly recommended to me by many seasoned ultra runner. I've never been to Tahoe, but everyone says the views are gorgeous.... You son of a B*, I'm in!

The course stays on the north eastern side of Tahoe, with a solid 18k feet of climbing, peaking at just under 9,000 feet of altitude. You race through sparse subalpine forest and some above treeline routes offering perfect views of Tahoe and surrounding areas. The trail itself is well maintained and very runnable - the opposite of Quebec Mega Trail 100 miles.

Nora was my crew and pacer - and it was very needed. Although I had a fantastic day with one of the best organized race (amazing volunteers, great course, great aid station)...I still struggled a lot. Nausea, can't keep food in. It was a rough fight, leading up to low energy and bouts of sleep walking through the night. Thanks to cutoffs not being too tight for me, I was able to regroup by eating, drinking and sleeping in the morning to see that finish line. And Nora was great help in helping me through these challenging miles!

Then we finished by walking back in the valleys - with temperature soaring into the 100sF (I saw 105F) - directly exposed to the sun around noon. Yeah...I was looking forward to be done by then!

This summer is fairly intense as far as racing calendar goes. So my goal is really to keep healthy enough to heal, recover, and race again. Many 2 weeks cycles so you have to be smart about it. ... Kinda smart. Truth is, so many of these 100 miles ultra marathon are dream races for me. So I did my best to squeeze them in there. And Tahoe Rim Trail 100 miles is the perfect example.

I was scheduled to race Quebec Mega Trail 100 miles and Angeles Crest 100 miles 4 weeks later. Maybe I can squeeze Tahoe? And wow I'm happy I did it!

Next race is Angeles Crest 100 miles on August 3! Right outside of Los Angeles, California, this race features +20k ft of climbing and some serious heat. It's also one of the 'classic' race in the US. Very fortunate and grateful to be racing it, and looking forward to share the adventure with you!

As always - Thanks for watching and remember -

Work Hard!
Believe in yourself!
Push your limits! Simon
