[@muztiko]

I can see some places that I couldn't discover because of the storm... you were 10 minutes ahead of me, we could have met on the course. Nice video, thanks for the pictures

[@HermanDesmet]

We were probably in the same tent in Artiga de Lin 😀

Great to see this 1 week after , beautiful memories. Good on you for taking the outcome so well & living such positive outlook on it all. A true ultra runner mentality 😀💪

[@HermanDesmet]

Oh thanks for the lovely comment! I had a good time doing the 35exp on sunday, glad to enjoy some mountains. Too bad for all that training, but hey, being happy in the mountains, that’s more important for me than risking my life in a race I can do again some other time when it is sunny I guess :-).

Goe zot 😉! 750 m geklommen in een uur ??? But great views from the race and very entertaining video for outsiders also ! Take care !

[@HermanDesmet]

Ik moest me kalm houden he :-). Er was op dat moment normaal nog 150km en 9000hm te lopen. Versnellen pas op het einde 😂😂😂

[@Vinhmm]

Respect! Fantastic footage!!!

[@HermanDesmet]

Thanks!!

I was in the CDH and the storm was heavy but short. Safety first, but maybe the race should have been stopped more time ir order to continue later (tough decision I guess). Nice video, nice adventure and love the drone shots from the days before the race. Congratulations💪

[@HermanDesmet]

Thanks!! And congrats to you too!

[@petersoetens3621]

great video, but we need to see less of that friend of yours :)

[@HermanDesmet]

He absolutely crashed that 160!
