Everything I Did Before My First Gravel Race of 2026

This is everything I did the week before my first gravel race. From training rides to race prep, travel, and the final days leading up to the start line… I wanted to bring you through the full experience, exactly how it felt. No perfect plan, just doing my best to show up ready. Race day was 136km with 2300m of elevation, and I definitely learned a lot. If you’re preparing for your first race, or just curious about what race week looks like, I hope this helps… or at least makes you feel less alone in the process.
