Running in late 20s

I just cannot wait for this. Swiss Irontrail T81: 88.1 km, 5010m elevation gain.

"Run if you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must. Just never give up" Dean Karnazas Last Saturday and Sunday I ran the Eiger Ultra Trail, a 101 km ultramarathon with more than 6700 metres of elevation gain. I arrived in Grindelwald on Thursday and went to collect my bib number on Friday morning. The race organisation was quite good for a race in this size. There was a strict equipment check at the bib number distribution which I appreciated during the race. They asked every runner to bring all the mandatory gear listed on the website in order to collect the bibs. Apart from the bib numbers we were handed out a plastic cup in order not to use many disposable cups along the way. There was also a reflective band which we had to wear after 9:30 pm. The mandatory gear that should be carried along the way Weighs around 4kg (including 1.5L of water) Pasta was served from 12 to 7 pm and there was a briefing session on Friday evening at congress centre which ev

Just a quick note to let you guys know I've finished the Eiger Ultra Trail in 25:12:38 Full report will be posted in a few days. Stay tuned

There is only a few hours left to start my first 100k, to challege my body and mind in another level. Sitting a few meters away from the finish line, eating a plate of pasta and chatting with the other runners. Everyone's got an inspirational story to tell. All are enjoying what they're doing. Nobody's been forced to put themselves into this kind of torture. Nobody says it'd be easy, but we are all sure that it's gonna worth the pain. We know It's well worth the struggle.  "The eye of the tiger" is playing and I'm thinking of the time that I was not a runner. I don't know what happened if I never started running. But I am absolutely pleased with what I'm doing now.  No matter what, I'm going to give it all I've got tomorrow to achieve - once more - what I thought was impossible.  Staring at the finish line, I know for sure something is gonna change inside me when I cross it. 

It's been quite a while since my last post here. This is a short one just to say what I'll been doing in a few days.  The race report will be posted shortly after the race.  This Saturday I will be running The Eiger Ultra Trail, a 101 km race for which I've been training almost as hard as I could in the last few months. I said almost because you can never train enough for these kind of challenges. I can say that I am now in the best shape I've ever been and I am going to give it my best effort. The race elevation profile, 6700 metres of elevation gain is not gonna be easy! Stay tuned guys
