The Eiger E101 Ultratrail: A challenge that has been haunting me for quite some years. It’s an ultratrail starting and finishing in Grindelwald, a village in Switzerland most known for its proximity to the 3970m high Eiger peak and is popular among alpinists. The trail is 101km long and covers 6700m of altitude gain.
In 2020 I was signed up but the race was cancelled, in 2021 the E101 wasn’t organized and I ran the E51km. In 2022 I started the E101 but DNF’d due to severe and continuing nausea. This year, in 2023, I was back at training, received an entry slot and was aiming for revenge. Anticipating the completion of this event for the fourth year on end and traveling to Switzerland for the third consecutive year, I was more than ready to complete this ultra, overcome last years’ disappointment and straighten out unfinished business.
