Description

Finally took part to "The" swiss race. Super experience with a great team! Veryveryvery long, starting off the bat at 1.30am with 8km-700+ of running with trail shoes and charged backpack. Then you hit 3600m in the middle of night, do some roped-skiing and try to survive endless flat and skating parts with some couloirs to boot pack here and there. Oh and so many people with touring skis that you keep overtaking the whole way. Hundreds! It was all very crazy. Soo tired now
