Eliza Sampey: Racing Ghosts on the Arizona Trail
In 2019, Eliza Sampey set a new women’s self-supported FKT on the Arizona Trail 750 on her brand-new Revel Rascal. Now at the start of AZTR 2022 week, she reflects on the ride and what it meant to her to be able to set an FKT. “I raced a smart race, not a balls-out race. I knew if I wanted to have a shot at the record I first needed to finish the route, and that meant racing in a way that was smart for me.” She wraps up with advice for racers heading out on course this year for what is sure to be an amazing event, and one well worth watching.
