East Texas Showdown 2026
from Zen and the Art of Endurance · host ZenTriathlon
I tackle and succeed at riding a monster gravel race - The East Texas Slowdown. 285 miles through two national forests, and I decide to ride THROUGH THE NIGHT to get a competitive placing in the results. I recorded some audio during the race as well, right on my watch. You can hear the excitement as I'm in the lead pack and the tree frogs and crickets at 3am as I'm looking for a spot to take a quick nap in the woods. This was one of the hardest things I've ever done, so listen in for tons of tips and tricks on how I pulled it off and if I'll ever do it again.
