The Traka Race Recap: aka "It was a DAY"

from The Middle Miles · host The Middle Miles

The Traka is a 3 day gravel event that takes place in one of the meccas of riding in Spain: Girona.  This year's race marked Angela's return to gravel racing after an almost 2 year hiatus.  With over 2600 meters of climbing in 200km, this race reminded Angela that gravel racing is so different than Ironman racing.  In fact, she may (or may not) have called Ironman racing "soft" in this podcast.  This race recap includes crying on the side of the road, last minute tire switching, running out of fuel, and a whole lot of riding alone for 8 hours.  Have a listen!
