From the egg-and-spoon race at sports day to a local running race, breaking the tape is a memorable moment for any athlete at any level.<\/p>\n<p>It can also be life-changing. Winning a race at perhaps the world\u2019s greatest international trail-running festival is an achievement many trail runners aspire to.<\/p>\n<p>HOKA ONE ONE athlete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/audreytanguy73\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Audrey Tanguy<\/a> did just that in 2018.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogemea.hokaoneone.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/DIV2449-rs-1.jpg\" alt=\"HOKA athlete Audrey Tanguy runs towards the finish line at Lavaredo\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Career highlight<\/h3>\n<p>Audrey only took her first steps in ultra-trail competition in 2017. Less than a year later, she crossed the line first in the 126km TDS race at <a href=\"https:\/\/utmbmontblanc.com\/en\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UTMB<\/a>. It was, and remains, a career highlight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinning the TDS is actually my best racing memory,\u201d she says. \u201cI loved every single moment of that race, although maybe except the Col de Tricot!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI really didn\u2019t expect to win and am still so happy and affected when I think about it now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year has been Audrey\u2019s first full season as a professional athlete for HOKA. She has finished 2<sup>nd<\/sup> at Lavaredo Ultra Trail and 3<sup>rd<\/sup> at Madeira Island Ultra Trail so far this season, and heads back to Chamonix to race TDS again later this month.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogemea.hokaoneone.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Unknown-7-rs-1.jpg\" alt=\"HOKA athlete Audrey Tanguy crosses the line first\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Same race, new challenges<\/h3>\n<p>TDS links the Aosta Valley in Courmayeur, Italy to the Savoie region in the French Alps. It is the second-longest individual event during UTMB week and starts at 4:00am on Wednesday 28 August.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s race route promises to present some new challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Now 145km long and reaching +9,000m elevation, the race starts in Courmayeur and follows the same route as previous years. It then charts a new course through the Beaufortain region before arriving to the finish in Chamonix.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogemea.hokaoneone.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/HOKA-Mallorca-2019_\u00a9PVerticale_M.Daviet_MDA5530-rs.jpg\" alt=\"HOKA athlete Audrey Tanguy runs with the sea in the background\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Intriguingly for Audrey, the infamous Col de Tricot remains. It is the steepest single climb on the Mont Blanc round. At more than 2,000m altitude, it arrives 130km into this year\u2019s race.<\/p>\n<h3>Creating new memories<\/h3>\n<p>After spending three weeks trekking in Kirghizstan to prepare for the race, Audrey is ready to tackle the race head on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the one hand, I can&#8217;t wait to run TDS again,\u201d she says. \u201cOn the other hand, I&#8217;m afraid that having a different race and outcome this year will change my gorgeous memory of last year\u2019s race.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogemea.hokaoneone.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/HOKA-Mallorca-2019_\u00a9PVerticale_M.Daviet_MDA5620-rs.jpg\" alt=\"HOKA athlete Audrey Tanguy holds Speedgoat shoes to camera\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cPhysically, it will be longer and harder, but I have more experience now. I\u2019m aiming for a good race. By that, I mean good race management, good sensations, good thoughts throughout and hopefully a good result to match.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Striving to be the best you can be is a common thread that connects all athletes, whatever level or ability.<\/p>\n<h3>Living the simple life<\/h3>\n<p>It is this dedication to be the best version of ourselves that both connects us and continues to drive us on. It is the same for Audrey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, ultra-running is a perfect life,\u201d she says. \u201cIt&#8217;s a simple life, almost every day is the same, but I love it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you want to be as good as possible, you try to do your very best and it isn\u2019t always possible or doesn\u2019t always come off. But, for me, ultra-running is not a sacrifice. It&#8217;s just my life and my passion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hokaoneone.eu\/en\/gb\/search\/?q=evo+speedgoat&amp;lang=en_GB\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blogemea.hokaoneone.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/audrey-rs.jpg\" alt=\"HOKA athlete Audrey Tanguy on cloud UTMB creative\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Photo credits: Sunny Lee and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.peignee-verticale.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PEIGN\u00c9E VERTICALE<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all run for different reasons.
