To understand Yousuli and what it stands for

 

For decades I have been found myself doing hard endurance challenges. It took me hundreds of marathons and ultramarathon, 101 repetitive self-supported half ironman distance triathlon, to appreciate what it was.

My first core memory, before I could walk - was one of a five-minute long struggle against the odds to survive under water.  Through years, this traumatic event - pushed me to train, and overcome whatever life through at me.

Because Endurance training had never been a choice, I learnt to give it meaning, and make it smarter. Endurance sports gave me the opportunity to meet amazing people, and to be a part of extraordinary journeys.

 

I think there is beauty in chasing "The Epic". 

First, it is something hard to do, and hard things are usually good for us. They shape us into what we aspire both physically and emotionally. Then "The Epic" is also about creating memories that will shine through decades. Things that inspire our families, and communities to be strong, and healthy, and explore what this small world of ours.

 

The community is meant to welcome and help everyone who wants to be part of it, climb their own summits - or do epic things… together.
