This is the longest run I’ve ever done!!! Swipe through to follow the journey to collect my first UTMB stone. Chamonix 2027 anyone??

My all-pink fit is all lululemon 
Sunglasses are roka (discount code QUIGLEY20)

This is the moment I realized I started waaaay too far back. Oops.
Had fun moving through the crowd in the first couple of miles though.
Thanks to Alex for leading me out! 

Seeing all these runners strung out along the trail was such a cool moment
I wish I got more content of the first 800m where we were running through the town of Leukerbad before hitting the trail, but I was too focused on not falling in the crowd. 

I wish I got more videos of the first mile running through the little town of Leukerbad, but I was concentrating too much on not falling in the crowd. 3 miles in and we started getting some amazing views!!! 😍😍😍

This was probably the most iconic part of the course

I’m glad I hiked all week in the mountains and saw ropes like this so I wasn’t surprised or really scared by it by the time I got to the race

cpcop__ walmsleyruns and jbrazeau all said this course was totally “runable”
They’re some damn liars. 

Anybody care for some charcuterie at the top of the climb? Anybody? 🤢 
Only in Switzerland 

I had to put my phone away for most of the second half because I’m careful on the descent, but then I got to this nice flowy section along a stream and I was vibiiiiing

This is a great example of my delirium at 2.5 HOURS into the race. At first I said I had been out there for 1 min, then it was 1.5 hours and then I realized wait… I’ve been running for 2.5 hours 😂 

The last 150ish meters they just throw in this kicker hill! 

I did it!!!

Someone explain to me why they bother with labeling them as 20k, 50k, 100k categories if they just make the distances whatever they want anyways 😂 
26k finisher thank you very much

This is so cpcop__ coded
We need to get this girl a sour candies sponsor 

This was the post-race meal: Rösti with ham, egg, and cheese 😍😍😍😍
