Kristian Jorgensen ran his best UTMB performance to date at the TDS 2022, ranking 15th among his competitions. We might think it is because everything went well with his run but it wasn’t. He ran the first part of the race with a rolled ankle and at the halfway he rolled the other one, causing the event medics to almost force him to stop his race.This same horrific experience also happened with Kristian during his infamous balls incident during the Hongkong 4 Trails Ultra Challenge (HK4TUC). HK4TUC is a self-supported 298 kilometer challenge in HK where he finished first among fellow survivors in 55 hours, making him the 7th person to finish the whole route under the 60 hours challenge during that edition. He made a mistake of shaving a few days before causing him bad chafing at the first part of the race and to go on commando, literally just wearing the T8 Commando Underwear until it was comfortable enough wear shorts.For Kristian, his success is born out of his desire to RUN because he wants to RUN. He doesn’t consider his activities as training for a race or racing to podium.He shared that he just keeps running since he started in the sports - his improved performance and elite looking physique and record breaking performances followed.Kristian is a Danish staying in the Philippines for more than a decade with his family and two kids. He love the Philippines so much and he wishes the Philippine trail running community unites and works together for improvement for it to flourish and bring out the better athletes in everyone.We enjoyed this conversation so much and got inspired to hop on to the nearest trails and just RUN.Join the Race Ya community at [raceya.fit](https://raceya.fit)For events and activities REGISTER (raceya.fit)For your sports needs: Home - Shop at RaceyayaKristian's TDS by UTMB Shorts and Commando is available here T8 - Shop at RaceyayaKristian's nutrition choice is available here Tailwind Nutrition - Shop at Raceyaya Hosted on Acast.
