Hear are some pictures as promised from the past couple of days. Yesterday's start was from the little town of Galtur. We left in rain and chilly weather. We worked really hard to get to the first check point. It started snowing as we hit the first climb. We thought that this was going to be such fun in the snow, much to our horror, we hit a snow blizzard at the top. The temperature dropped to -16°!! We then had to make our way down the mountain to the next check point. We ran through mud up to our ankles to reach the next cut off point in time. From there it was down hill into the beautiful town of Scuol. (We actually climbed a couple of places in the rankings gunning it down the 12km hill)
This morning we woke to lots of low cloud and some rain. We started our uphill sprint at 10.15 this morning. The 6.19km run took us 1.25 through more mud then snow, see pictures!
We are getting stronger everyday, but these mountains are still massive.
Talking of massive, the daily race videos can be viewed on www.massive-mag.tv
The next 3 days are going to be tough, will keep you posted.
