Episode 185- Eli Egger and gearing up for the Ultimate Race

Elizabeth (Eli) Egger is one of the rookies in the 23' Red Bull X-Alps. She's also a paragliding instructor, Niviuk team pilot, high-level competition pilot (we sat down after the Superfinal in Mexico to have this chat), has supported Simon Oberrauner (2017) and Aaron Durogati (2019 and 2021) in the X-Alps, and has a very interesting professional background in earth mapping and engineering. In this wide-ranging talk we discuss her training for the upcoming race and what she's learned from supporting Simon and Aaron, preparing for comps, progression, instruction, and going to bat against the best in the world.
