Reco CCC- Courmeyer Champex Chamonix Ultra Trail
With just over a week to go to the CCC, 100km ultra run around Mont Blanc, I was lucky to squeeze in a few longer runs checking out the course and re-adjusting to the altitude and temps here. It was a challenge wrestling with jet-lag and planning activities for the kids, but I managed to get in one last week of volume training before tapering for the big race on august 31. Runners can be followed directly on the site, also through Facebook and Twitter.
Here are a few images from the few days of exploring… one of my best days was when my 8 year old joined me up the last climb of the CCC.
