My wife and I did the shorter hike a couple months ago, and have watched a ton of Kalalau Trail hikes on UA-cam. This video is the best yet to encapsulate the experience and dangers of the full trail. Most videos really just show the dangers of Crawler's Ledge and then stunning scenery. This did an amazing job of showing more "mundane" but real dangers like going off the trail or simply not being able communicate or refill water. It was a great way of showing that the reward is worth the effort, but that it's not for novice hikers or children.
Thanks a lot Carl really appreciate the support and stoked you enjoyed it. Kudos to you guys for undertaking the hike! It’s definitely not an easy one 🙏
This was cool to watch, very well put together! I'm currently training for a full Ironman and I have found myself watching endurance race documentaries during my long bike rides (when I do them indoor). Having done marathons, I have never had an interest in doing anything longer than that for running, but watching these and particularly this one, is inspiring! Well done and congrats on your accomplishment!
Thanks so much Eric! So stoked you were inspired! Keep on your hero journey and continue unfolding your own myth. The higher the aim the higher the positive emotion 🙌
I am doing the race this year for the first time, your insights are very valuable!! Thanks for sharing
Awesome enjoy the ride! 🙌 its a great race!
Huge congratulations for such an amazing achievement.
Thanksso much!
I am here for the snacks 😂, no all jokes aside amazing vid and what a inspiring UTMB documentary, much respect and take care 🙏🏾
Haha 😂 thanks man! Appreciate the kind words 🙏
Thank you so much for this Rafael! Probably the most inspiring and beautiful UTMB documentary so far! Cheers from the Philippines.
Thanks so much! Stoked you enjoyed it so much! 🤗
One of the best I’ve seen. You truly captured the emotions at the start of the race. Brought tears. Congratulations on your finish
Thanks so much!! Stoked you felt the emotions 🤗
Great story, Great film 🎥
Thanks!
Bro, its absolutely amazing what you did. And hats off for filming it out and sharing with us.
Thanks!! Stoked you enjoyed the ride! 🙏
This video is scarily accurate to my experience when I ran in 2023 but what an adventure
Thanks a lot!
Powerful stuff Rafael. Congratulations on so many levels, the race, the documentary, the journey - and all of the growth!!!
Thanks a lot Ben! Stoked you enjoyed! And really appreciate the support!
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.
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.
Absolutely stunning movie, great job man! Keep it up. I love how you describe the inner thoughts, demons you are fighting, remembering your loved ones, perfectly put together. Definitely deserves a LOT more views.
Thanks so much for your message!! Truly touches me!! 🙏
What a great documentary and inspiration! The ultrarunning community is so humble and respectfull and i love it. Gongrats !
Thanks a lot for your kind words!
thanks thanks thanks Raphel for this vibrant video, who comes at a very important moment of my life. La narration est superbe, l'ecriture parfaite, tu as su mettre les mots sur les emotions. et faire vibrer quelque chose de precieux, qui est au fond de nous, mais qu'on perd de vue parfois (souvent en fait). je viens de finir le visionnage et je pleure encore. merci merci merci. le trail c'est comme la vie: elle est belle. Mais dure. Mais c'est ainsi.
Merci pour ton message qui me fait chaud au coeur! J’ai tenté du mieux que je peux de donner la profondeur à cette aventure que l’on partage tous d’une manière ou d’une autre 🙏 c’est en effet une métaphore de la vie 💫
Absolute respect to you fella,great story and life motivation, thanks
Thanks man! Stoked you enjoyed the ride!
Had a good 50k trail yesterday and thought to myself ''I'm feeling way too fresh being this far in!'' after the 40k mark. I have done quite a few ultras by now but that one felt really peculiar. Then it just hit me like a hammer on those last 5k and I easily lost 15 minutes and 6 ranking spots right there. I guess the lesson is: No matter how good you feel, you're not done until you've actually finished. It's easy to get excited when things are going well, and even easier to get dishearted when they aren't. Edit: That's a really cool-looking trophy for that marathon! Something different, for sure.
Kudos to you man! Great tou felt fresh for so long 🙌 keep it up’
@@rafaelhidalgo By the way: Have you ever considered triathlon? I would love to do some, but my swim is... lackluster, to say the least. Maybe it's a new high for you?
@@hustensaftvernichter3785 haha not yet i have the same issue as you. Swimming is not my forte by far and I think i would miss the adventure dimension i get in trail running (mountains, landscape etc)
@@rafaelhidalgo Well, maybe to the Xtri norseman. You get to be surrounded by landscape *and* get to be a real-life version of ''The Walking Dead'' for a week after... Win-Win?! Swimming is tough stuff to get into, for sure. I find it to be totally unforgiving compared to biking or running.
@@hustensaftvernichter3785 yup totally! Running and cycling are fine but the swim part would be tough for me to crack
Awesome films, way to go!
Thanks Tohru!!
This is the best UTMB video I have seen, I watched it in one go and you have done a great job describing how you felt throughout the race. Well done for videoing yourself when you must have been in pain and feeling exhausted. I was in Chamonix watching the finishers and I can see myself wearing yellow just before the finish arch. Well done on getting in to and finishing the UTMB and for taking and editing this great video!
Thanks a lot Phil! Stoked you saw yourself at the finish line and stoked you enjoyed the film! I definitely poured my heart into it 🤗
Crazy adventure and amazing video. Hands down the best utmb or other 100 miler documentary I've ever seen!
Thanks so much Bobby! Stoked you enjoyed it!
Very cool Rafa with lot's of IHAC and Bahamas footage! Keep it up, plenty more challenges ahead
Thanks bro!
bons conseils de materiels
🙏
legend
Haha thanks mate 🙏
I wish you happiness in your new life. Another great post. Thank you. :)
Thanks a lot!!
11:00 Another great UA-cam drop Rafael, great to follow your journey. Glad you’ve settled in and enjoying your new life. Really looking forward to the Desert Rats drop 👍🏻
Thanks David! Looking forward to putting the Desert Rats race together 🙌 kudos to you for the great race in London!
@@rafaelhidalgo thanks 🙏 Ledge
Hi Rafael, Thanks for the great update. Lovely video as always, best of luck for the rest of the year !
Thanks Davey! 🙌
Thank you Rafael for this nice video. I learnt a lot of things for my 1st UTMB next August.
Thanks for watching!
Good seeing you at the Rabbit Valley aid station at Desert RATS UTMB! -Marty
Awesome! Rabbit Valley: where the suffering began haha it was soooo hot from that point on!
Great follow up Rafael, I can really relate to the journey and feelings especially around the UTMB it does give all kind of emotions that are hard to describe. Keep it up and allwayes follow more goals😁
Thanks! For sure! Always aiming upwards 🙌
Incredible journey bro. Congrats 👊🏽
Thanks carnal!!
Great job, thoroughly enjoyed watching your journey 👏
Thanks Tom!
"Short term pain for long term gain" is pretty much the main point of what Jesus was teaching when he said "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” - Matthew 11:28-30. Basically means, do the hard thing now, and you will find it easier in the long run. Great words to live by and to teach kids. Keep up the good, hard work man.
Amen to that. We have much more to learn than we think from biblical stories and mythology. Those people knew a lot more than we know now. Thanks for sharing, powerful verse indeed 🙏
Your comment in the end about it being more so a pilgrimage instead of a hike was very beautifully put
Thanks!
No way I’d do that in a day. It wouldn’t be worth it. I’d definitely spend the night on the beach
If i could I would have. I had a choice: Do it in a day or not at all.
Really well done and inspiring! Thankyou!
Thanks a lot!!
Congratulazioni, mi auguro sia da stimolo per me che alla prima difficolta mi fermo.grazie per questa testimonianza, vederti correre con le fasce alle gambe mi ha commosso,e quando hai ricordato i tuoi che non ci sono più,bhe, brividi,e ho capito dove prendevi la forza per arrivare alla fine...sei un grande,davvero...grazie.
Grazie mille per le vostre parole gentili, significa molto! Non arrendetevi mai.
It's great to watch all your videos! Congratulations on completing this challenging and honorable race. I have some questions about the temperature in the race. The second night seemed much colder than the first, didn't it? Do you have any advice on thermal clothing during the race? I'm from the tropical region (Vietnam) so my cold tolerance is poor, really need some advice. Thank you
Thanks a lot! I have a video on all my UTMB gear that will be handy for you: ua-cam.com/video/cIpRwSMCT8c/v-deo.htmlsi=y4GgeZOTe0nuFBJJ
@@rafaelhidalgo thank you ! Do you back to UTMB in this year ?
@@thinhtc0105 not this year. I have adventures lined up in the US 🙌
Thank you for allowing us to witness this incredible film. This is life as pure as it gets. I can't even put into words how incredibly motivating it was to see all of your ups and downs. I just signed up for my very first ultra a couple of days ago and I am sure this film will be on my mind as I enter the pain cave and unknown territory. From the bottom of my heart - thank you!
Thanks so much! Such a heartwarming message 🙏 really appreciate it and more importantly stoked it motivated you! You go get your ultra finish! Setting yourself daunting objectives is how you grow as a person 🚀
Absolutely amazing and insprirational. Congrats and well done! Amazing accomplishment
Thanks so much!!
Thank you for taking us on this journey! Brilliant video!
Thanks Philipp! Really appreciate it!
Exceptional! Really enjoyed it Rafael.
Thanks a lot!
My heart rate was 170 also just by watching the epic moments before the start 😂
Haha thanks! Stoked you found it exciting 🙌
I wish I could live this experience in this lifetime. I am training for it ... I hope I will be able to do it one day
Never give up 💪
That was great!
Thanks!
Your videos are absolutely superb. 👏👏
Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey, in a so enjoyable way. PS: which gps watch did you had on (20:15)? Thanks again.
Thanks to you for following! The watch is the Fenix 6x.
Excellent video and excellent tips. As I look to expand to ultras, this was a huge help.
Awesome stoked it was helpful!
Ah man, what a journey! Loved it.
Thanks !! Stoked you enjoyed it!
Hi, did you have a backup shoe choice for if the race was a muddy wet one?
I had a spare speedgoat 5 in my drop bag and some crampons in case. I should have mentioned it in the video , good point.
@@rafaelhidalgo Same shoe, same comfort, different grip, that's a great option. Thank you. Also thanks for the unbiased opinions - some cheap, some expensive, some great, some with little downsides. Appreciate the honest summary.
@@alanclark666 thanks Alan, hope it helps 🙏
Well done on your UTMB finish! Amazing to follow your journey to success. One question - how do you attach the bottom of quiver to the Adv Skin 12? Mine has no appropriately sized loop on the back - only a very large loop in the middle that doesn't hold.
Thanks Bruce! Which do you use? So i can check it out and let you know
@@rafaelhidalgo The 2023 model - with a large, reflective loop in bottom, middle of the backside. Much too large for the quiver "toggle" that is supposed to fix the bottom of quiver.
@@BruceJackson-SEOCoach dont you have two little loops on the side like in this pic? skyrun.skimo.co/salomon-custom-quiver
@@rafaelhidalgo Unfortunately not - that is a Sense Pro 5 I think. My old vest had similar, but the newer Adv Skin 12 doesn't for some reason. How did you fix your quiver?
@@BruceJackson-SEOCoach waw thats really weird. There should be those little hoops on the bottom sides of the adv skin 12. Send me picture on rhe instagram or facebook messenger?
