Verdon

Weekend in Verdon in France competing in Verdon Canyon Challenge Ultra Marathon at 100k long with over 6000 meters of climbing the same hight as Mt Kilimanjaro on technical trails that makes this one of Europe's toughest ultra marathons . With 120 competitors around 40 did not complete the race the race started at 5am and I finished just after 2pm a time of 21 hours some three hours better than last year in 28th position. Training through the year has helped and I feel tougher and more able to cope with the pain that these runs can bring , the next race now being the osmotherley phonix in early July hope to post few more pics
