What's it about?

Christoph Strasser has been participating in ultra-cycling races since 2002 and has developed into the world's number 1 over the years. His records and victories at the Race Across America are material for the history books. After a total of 9 participations and 6 victories in the toughest ultracycling race in the world and the 24-hour world record with 1026 km, Strasser sought a new challenge: Ultracycling Unsupported. Completely on his own and equipped only with a racing bike and the most necessary utensils, Strasser embarked on a new challenge - the Transcontinental Race across Europe. Although here, in addition to the physical strain, the organizational part was added - from planning the 5000-kilometer route, to catering and sleep strategy - unsupported races are ultimately about only one thing: moving forward. Christoph Strasser takes his audience on a personal and athletic journey. How has he grown as a person and what lessons does he take from the past 20 years of ultracycling to overcome personal and athletic challenges? How do you deal with stepping out of your comfort zone and facing completely new challenges? This multimedia lecture is about pictures and videos of the biggest defeats and the most beautiful victories. It's about records, humorous stories and how every person in the room can take their very personal progress into their own hands and positively influence it based on the content of the lecture.
