You write as exceptionally well as you run. What a beautiful account of that night and day out on the loop. Il y a un peu de Saint Exupéry dans votre plume !
Thank you for an inspiring account of your journey around the mountain. Lots of respect from me. It has been very captivating to hear your reflections on various podcasts over the last couple of months. Looking forward to follow your continued journey.
This reminds me how it’s the experience that we take away from a race, initially, but when it all sinks in, I hope you feel some kind of extreme pride in what you’ve achieved, it’s phenomenal.
" But somehow it passes, time, distance, elevation goes someplace behind me." C'est toute la magie de notre sport, on regarde toutes les interrogations qui viennent face à ce qui se dresse devant nous, et on finit par y jeter à peine un regard part dessus notre épaule, une fois passé. Toujours aussi géniale à lire tes récits de course , en particulier celui-ci où on ressent bien l'épreuve psychologique qu'un UTMB à ce niveau peut représenter. Encore un immense bravo !
The honesty and vulnerability in both your writing and running is refreshing and inspiring. Thank you Ben, and congratulations on this monumental achievement.
