After months and months of training, lots of hills climbed, including my last training block in the mountains of Chamonix, race day is upon us! As this video drops on the channel, I will be giving my race kit one last check and then heading towards the bus that's going to take us over to Courmayeur, Italy for a midnight start time. All the kit has been thoroughly tested and I really feel that I can rely on it to help me through the 140km and 9100m of elevation of the TDS. It's going to be one epic journey and fingers crossed I make it back to the iconic finishing arch in Chamonix!
Thanks for watching, we'll see you in the next video and as always - stay safe and keep on running!

Just did my UTMB MCC race in the Xodus Ultra’s today. They were just awesome. Great choice. Just watched all the TDS runners walk to the bus to take them to the start in Courmayeur. Good luck Loyd!

Yep. Best choice. I'd have dumped this channel if he chose SG5 lol, I've come to dislike them.

It’s strange to think that, as I watched this on Monday morning in California, you are already on the move amidst the excited crowd, running and climbing through the night. Best of luck on your adventure, and thanks for this great series of videos. I briefly had palpitations during the run-up to the shoe reveal. The drama!

Great review to watch for someone taking on a mountain ultra or where race conditions could change and you need that confidence in your mandatory kit. Liked the way you gave the reasons why behind each piece and definitely agree with the bivvy over the blanket choice. I’ll be following you and the Pirate this week!

Great choice Loyd, I hope your kit serves you well and you smash the race. I just bagged a £52 pair of Reebok floatride energy 4 Adventure trail shoes. A bit more Cush and more lugs than the Road version (r4adventure!)with a discount code. Not in the same league as your mountain beasts but for the money will hopefully be a great light trail shoe for me and my parkrun visit to Trelissick this weekend. Just couldn’t get on with the high arch in the hoka speedgoats and mafate with my flat plates of meat. All the best Loyd with the race and look forward to the video!

Agree on pulsar trail pro, go to choice in the UK but went for slab ultra 3 on UTMB, just more reliable over the terrain. Also said hi in the first mile of the UTMB race as I saw you at the side of the road but it was all very hectic! Hopefully get chance to say hi properly at another event.

Lloyd would you recommend the Exodus Ultra even if you have a wider forefoot?

It really depends on how wide your forefoot is? I'd say the width is good in the Xodus Ultra but it's not super wide like an Altra 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
