Finished in 3:14 - slower than last years 3:01 but was a hundred or so places better than last year which shows the effect of the heat I think

Now been queuing 2 hrs to get back through the Mt Blanc tunnel ffs :rage:

Enjoying lunch in Chamonix while the finishers from the TDS come past - every one is applauded to the rafters by the crowds - fantastic atmosphere

These folks are finishing around the 38 hour mark - well inside the cut off for the 148km race with 9000m of vert - max finishing time 44 hrs

Bravo

Heading over to St Gervais to meet some friends and see the racers come through

I did too, so I’m glad you asked; I like tuning in for the start and first little bit.

Preparations well in hand at St Gervais

22.5km into the course with 951m of elevation gain at this stage

Front runners expected @7:36 (starting from Chamonix at 6pm) pretty rapid half with that amount of elevation. Cut off at 10pm

Meanwhile I am relaxing in a cafe with an Affligem
