Yngvild Kaspersen

She was taking two gels per hour for s- um, 18 hours plus real food, which is great data from the field about the level of carbs for this type of breakthrough.

And in CCC, Yngvild Kaspersen won coming from behind.

She was doing 89 grams of carbs per hour, which is a lot in a mountain race like this, uh, but interestingly, just 300 milliliters of fluid per hour, which is so low, and she only lost 2.8% of her body weight while doing that.

I'm like, "Wow, people have m- wildly different sweat rates."

And-

... with Yngvild and-

And Naomi Blan is in medical school, though sh- it sounds like she's on leave now.

Yeah.

I talked to Yngvild about this.

Yeah, so it's just like we've got a bunch of docs, a bunch of docs in this, uh, this field of ours of trail and ultrarunning, and it's really cool to see that.

Um, last year when Blandine was fourth in CCC, we said, "Hmm, you know, that feels like an off performance for her," and it turned out it was a training run for her to go to Grand Raid, um, later that fall.

Blandine gets her third win here, and the triple crown.

Yeah, she'll be a great addition to this field.

Uh, Yngvild Kaspersen, again, another one I think maybe the Western States wasn't great.

Uh, Caitlin Fielder, who did have a very good Western States running.

A lot of backups from Western States in this one.

Those are, like, the big names, and Robin Lisch.

Yngvild Kaspersen is a beast.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, Robin Lisch.

Okay

... have both run.

Um, and Yngvild Kaspersen, I believe, have all run Golden Trail.

Okay.
