"People say I'm a walking scar... but I never give up."In Episode 3 of The Gravel Paddock, we sit down with Elite gravel racer and Pro cross-country skier Annabel Fisher. After a dominant start to the season, a horrific crash at the Leadville 100 changed everything. Annabel drops the filter on the physical toll of breaking her hands and sternum, and the brutal reality of the gravel industry when an athlete gets sidelined.But this isn't just a comeback story. We dive into her radical decision to move to 2000m of altitude in the Swiss Alps full-time, the intense logistics of balancing an Elite gravel calendar with a Pro XC Skiing career (targeting the Team GB FIS squad), and why she absolutely doesn't care about cycling power data during a race.No fluff. No filter. The race starts here. 🏁⏱️ Episode Chapters:00:00 - Cold Open & Intro01:49 - The Brutal Leadville 100 Crash & Recovery10:06 - The Industry Reality: Being Sidelined as a Pro14:49 - Engine Building: The 2000m Altitude Life in Engadin 🇨🇭20:35 - The Dual-Sport Pro: Transitioning from Skis to Gravel 🎿🚲25:25 - Team GB Ambitions & The 2029 World Championships28:22 - Tech Check: Ski Wax Geeks vs. Anti-Data Cycling Setup32:46 - 2026 Race Schedule & Closing Words📱 Follow The Inside Line:Follow Annabel Fisher on Instagram & on StravaJoin the Paddock on Instagram: @TheGravelPaddockHosted by Antonin Liverset: antoninliverset.comIf you enjoyed this deep dive, please leave a 5-star rating and subscribe to the show!
