Summary

The Life Time Grand Prix is back, which means we've got a whole new season of recap episodes on the way. To kick things off, we’ve got South African rider Hayley Preen and Swiss rider Simon Pellaud here to take us inside their races. Hayley just won the South African Gravel Nationals shortly after grabbing third place at the Cape Epic and is on her second go-round of the Grand Prix. Last year, she had to drop out after a broken wrist, but she’s started off this season strong with a fourth-pla...

0:00.0	I'm Pace McElvin and this is the With Pace podcast.
0:11.8	Of course, nobody knew me and respect me.
0:15.5	So I was in the Wheel of Kigan for the first part and then I've been pushed out because nobody knew me and then you know
0:21.7	you need to get that respect it's the same in every event around the world I knew it will be hard
0:26.5	to be really competitive in the final that's why I decided to take some risk I just thought okay
0:32.2	you don't want to go, I go.
0:45.5	Hello everyone and welcome to our first Lifetime Grand Prix recap of the year.
0:47.6	The Seattle Classic Gravel Race.
0:56.9	For those that might be new to our recaps, we typically kick things off with a little voice memos section sent in by non-pro participants and then usually shift to a couple of interviews with the pros, one male,
1:04.4	one female, to get some insights into the pointy end of the race. Before we dive in, I should give a quick update of my own. Many of you all will know
1:13.8	that I fell hard about an hour into the race and wasn't able to finish. It's 10 days now since
1:20.8	the race and it's been honestly a major roller coaster. At first, we, you know, day of, were kind of fearing the worst.
1:30.3	I thought it might be a femur fracture. Luckily, x-rays cleared me of that. But only a few days

1:49.9	hips go, my hip fracture is marginally displaced, um, a marginally displaced fracture of the greater
1:57.0	trocanter to be specific, which is sort of best case scenario is hip fractures go, I guess.
2:04.2	We haven't totally ruled out surgery yet, but as of now, it's looking very unlikely, which is a
2:10.1	relief. And there's, yeah, I would say overall a positive outlook, though still some
2:16.8	details to kind of get sorted out.
2:20.6	We do know that there's no realistic chance of being on the start line for unbound,
2:25.4	which under the new Grand Prix rules of only one drop race doesn't technically eliminate me
2:32.3	from the series, but definitely mathematically takes me out of the running for a top overall finish.
