Branislav Pavić: Kako sam završio 3 UTMB-u

Branislav Pavić

2016. godine smo u Istri zajedno završili 100 milja (tačno 173 km) s preko 7000 kumulativnog uspona za 32:58. Jedan je od trojice musketira zbog kojih mi je posljednjih 10 kilometre ove trke najbržih na stazi jer nisam mogla prihvatiti da se do cilja razvlače sa mnom zbog mog problema s ITBS-om a oni nisu htjeli bez mene. Dakle, džentlmen i izvrstan motivator. Rođen je u Zagrebu, živio je u Novom Gradu, trenutno je nastanjen u Gothenburgu. Trkač je s impresivnom statistikom iza sebe a povod za razgovor s njim je bio još jedan njegov prolazak kroz ciljnu kapiju UTMB-a na kom nemilosrdna statistika kaže da svake godine oko 40% učesnika odustane. Ne samo da ga je završio ove godine već ga je završio po treći put (3/3) pa sam ga zamolila da podijeli s nama svoje iskustvo i naučene lekcije kako bi budućim jurišnicima na ovaj trofej pomogao u planiranju, pripremama i realizaciji. Dragi prijatelji, predstavljam vam Branislava Pavića.
