and the desert have unfinished business.
After battling for 238 miles at last year’s , Max was forced to pull the plug just 12 miles short of the finish line. What started as a chest cold turned into rhabdomyolysis, cellulitis, and a host of other problems that led him straight to the hospital from the course.
This was Max’s first DNF. But rather than viewing it as a failure, he’s doubled down on not giving up.
We are excited to cheer Max on at his first race as a COROS athlete when he returns to Cocodona for vengeance this year.
He is approaching next month with fresh insight, adjusted training, and a renewed outlook on racing. Read more about how last year went down, and how he’s applying what he learned at the link below.
