Welcome to my blog which I hope to develop with some interesting material on ultra running both on the trails and road including reports on races and interesting training runs, views on kit and equipment as well as anything else I find of interest. I love running for adventure, opportunity and well being. Enjoy!

Following UTMB

This year's race is set to have widespread online coverage through a number of different sources. In fact, sitting in front of a computer is likely to provide a more accurate and absorbing experience than being on the course in person!

Here are a couple of links:

The main race website (live mini site will go live shortly before the race, my race number is 2044): http://www.ultratrailmb.com/page/88/Supporters.html
The North Face website: http://eu.thenorthface.com/blog/
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/thenorthface#!/thenorthface?v=app_17037175766

The race starts on Friday night @ 1730GMT

What a brilliant performance, Jez. Well done!

David Egan said...

Well done. You must have put all that swimming you’ve done to good use at the start, considering all the rain. Laura says congratulations.

Dear Jez, Congratulation!
Could you tell me the name of your pack which you used during UTMB/CCC? I didn't found it on thenorthface webshop.
thanks and good luck.
Akos from Hungary

That was a fantastic performance Jez. Well done.
I was about to ask the same question as Akos. I prefer packs with bottles and yours looks nice.

Well done you! watched the race from the edge of the lake in Champex and got soaked just watching. Saw runners still coming through at 6.45 Swiss time the next day. Great result for you, for Lizzie and for GB. Well done.

Akos/ Nikos,
Thanks for the posts guys.
The pack is not out yet - but it will be in the Spring 11 range, called the Enduro 18. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. Well worth waiting for - it's an absolute cracker....
