Sarah finished 5th female at Mozart 100 by UTMB — a 120km mountain ultra in the Austrian Alps with long climbs, technical descents and a strong international field.

In this episode we break down the whole experience:

  • race week preparation and kit decisions

  • managing training around work and family life

  • preparing for Alpine races while living on the South Downs

  • how the climbs and descents compared to UK race

  • pacing, fuelling and race strategy

  • where the race got difficult

  • and what a result like this means only three years into ultra running

Recorded 36 hours after the finish, while everything was still fresh.
