More on UTMB week

Well the energy and hype has accelerated in the past 30 hours! The final TDS finishers are still coming in, having run 145k. An American gal finished second, in a hard fought race that was not decided until the final kilometers.

I had two great runs yesterday. We went to Bighorn Bakery and Bistro, which is STRAVA headquarters until the end of UTMB week. I picked up my free - incredibly ugly socks - for showing a recent run on their app with more than 200 meters of vertical gain. Finally, last night we went to the North Face speaker series to wish Rory Bosio good luck.

Now I am on my way back to the campground after a few hours of bouldering. The UTMB starts tomorrow at 6pm local time.
