The UTMB and a few days of bad weather!

This week the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc arrived in Chamonix and with it a few days of wintery weather. Congratulations and a lot of respect goes to all the folk completing each of the races which range from 100km to 290km each with a huge amount of climbing and descending. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get many good photos of the event but more information on the event can be found here . It's difficult to qualify for / get an entry but maybe one year....

In the meantime having signed up for the Snowdonia Marathon (a mere sprint compared to the ultra) at the end of October, it was time to have a break from the mountain biking and get out running with a couple of great runs around the valley.
