Whilst most of us were sunning ourselves this week. Andy took on an ultra. Finishing the 88k in just over 24 hours and coming 3rd in his category. Fantastic.
Race blurb and results below. Hopefully a report and pictures follow Andy?
The race is a full crossing of Belledonne Mountain, from Vizille (Isere) to Aiguebelle (Savoie). This beautiful run of 144km and 11100m D+ brings you from 250m to 2950m on Belledonne Cross, by making you to cross all different alpine landscape from refuges to refuges. You discover over 30 mountain lake and forest; cross stones and moraines, glaciers and torrents, and if you’re lucky see some chamois and ibexes. It’s a crossing uncompromising, in altitude, away from road, in mountain track. A crossing that requires good training, both physically and mentally. Receiving a welcome in Belledonne, here we celebrate your courage and perseverance..
