What goes up must come down...

We are in! In August Anna and I will line up to take part in the CCC (Courmayeur, Champex, Chamonix). This is half an anticlockwise lap of the famous walk of the tour du Mont Blanc. Starting in Italy, crossing Switzerland and finishing in France. The course is 98 km in distance and will involve 5505 meters of up and then 5690 meters of down to be completed in 26 hours!

The draw results came out yesterday and with both the CCC and the full lap Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc (UTMB) being oversubscribed it felt like opening a website with exam results on it, ‘in or not in...Pass or fail?’ The true exam will be those 5500 meters of up and down later in the year but we are enjoying passing that first test right now.
