Headwall & Heart: Conquering the Sleeping Giant 50K

Host Celeste Fong welcomes back Greg Smith for a candid recap of the Sleeping Giant 50K. They break down the brutal technical headwall, race results, changing conditions, and the logistics of racing crowded park trails.

They dive into gear and shoe choices, blister fixes, pacing strategy, and using the race as training for the upcoming Manitou's, with practical tips on poles, aid stations, and crew support.
