    Great job Ben , thanks for posting! I ran this year as well and didn't document it at all. The course got progressively more technical the further round the curcuit we got. I spent a few hours on the 2nd night mentally penning a strongly worded letter of complaint to the race organisers (I haven't followed through on it though 😂) Hope the recovery is going well. Rick 🙏

    Hey Ben - well done on a great race and thanks for putting out this video. I'm running the X-Traversée this year and was wondering if you had any tips or guidance on things you'd do differently a second time around? Many thanks!

    • @BenNeedsMountains
      @BenNeedsMountains Рік тому

      Hi Edward, thanks for your support. Great to hear that you will taste this adventure this year. Preparation in the mountains is recommended since the altitude at a few passes is quite high and two of the descents are long and the quads could easily suffer. The ‘wall’ section could be a place to overtake if you have the energy, but I struggled there (like most) and got overtaken by some. The atmosphere, good food and amazing views should carry you through to Verbier!

    • @BenNeedsMountains
      @BenNeedsMountains Рік тому

      HI Steve, tough question, as these are two magnificent events, and you can't choose wrong really. If you need running stones for a UTMB event later, then you'll only get that from the X-Traversee. I would say views are slightly better there too (running above a glacier!). Food is better on the Swiss Peaks, and finishing by lake Geneva is really cool, unless you finish in the middle of the night in the rain with no one around as I did (lol). Basically, flip a coin and have an unforgettable ride :-)
