Thanks for watching.

Michael McEvoy Thanks Michael. Glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, that's definitely the most technical section, particularly in the dark. But it's not a regular part of the course -- that whole section was added at the last minute because a rock slide above La Flegere that killed someone the day before.

Not crying. Allergies. :)

Ferraro Davide Thanks! It’s a wonderful race and you’ll love it. But it’s good to be scared if it motivates you to train hard :). I hope you learned something from my experience. Have a great race!!

Stewart, it’s so great that you found my video and got in touch. I hope we see each other in Chamonix this year. I’m in the UTMB lottery, but chances aren’t great that I’ll get in this first year. Fingers crossed though. Happy New Year!

Stephen Kukta Cool, good luck with the ballot. Let me know how it goes, would love to catch up in Chamonix.

Haha. I'm sorry to have given you that motivation. Best of luck.

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words Ed. Means a lot. Best wishes for all your future adventures.

@@stephenkukta3508 if you get a chance to do the ONER on south coast in England then that's a good one. Not the same elevation but spectacular coastal trails and a real challenge. 👍

kunal sharma Thanks!

ReddAntlerRunning : Awesome job, man. Anyone who finishes UTMB is my hero. Against my better judgment I'm putting in for the UTMB lottery this year.

Stephen Kukta yes do it! Hopefully we can meet there.

Just realized we ran Santa Barbara 100K together. Small world. My name is Christopher Thomas

ReddAntlerRunning Haha. We know how to pick 'em. Santa Barbara nearly ended me. Not unlike CCC. I got so dehydrated I had to spend hours in aid stations before staggering through the night to the finish. Ironically, the only reason I didn't drop was that I needed the points for the CCC lottery. :). Good luck in the UTMB lottery -- see you in Chamonix, fingers crossed.

see you next year for utmb ?

Shoto Uke Unfortunately not. I applied for UTMB, but no lottery luck this year. :(. I'll definitely try again in 2020 though. I'd really like to see if I can suffer through 100 miles of this. :). Have a great running year!

E. G. Hi, E.G. Thanks for the kind comment. I probably ran about 70 km and hiked 30. Some of the climbs are extremely steep and it’s just as fast to hike those climbs as to run. But I also got cold and tired and so later in the night I hiked some trails that should have been possible to run. I think that the very best runners probably run about 85 to 90% of this race.

Hi Robin, I used a Sony - I think it was the FDR X3000. It had better sound than the GoPro and it had optical stabilization. But that’s now a 3 year old camera and I think, when I shoot UTMB this year, I’ll use a 360 degree camera. Probably the GoPro, based on what I’ve read.

Hey that thing came skulking out of the darkness and almost took me out. Or... she was just sleeping next to the trail and I startled her with my loud breathing. :)
