80k Grand Trail du Saint Jacques by UTMB, South of France - My first Did Not Finish

Описание: The Grand Trail du Saint-Jacques in Le Puy-en-Velay in France is an ultra trail run of 80 kilometers, with 3.200 meters of elevation. It's part of the Trail du Saint-Jacques by UTMB. The Grand Trail is the second longest distance and starts in Monistrol-d'Allier and finishes in Le Puy-en-Velay; starting point of the Santiago de Compostela.

For me did race meant my first DNF (Did Not Finish) ever. Why? I'll tell you in this video.

I ran the Grand Trail du Saint-Jacques as preparation for the UTMB CCC (Courmayeur - Champex-Lac - Chamonix) at the end of this year:    • UTMB CCC - The Race where Everything went ...  

To prepare for the Grand Trail du Saint-Jacques I went to the Vosges in France to train:    • Trail running in the Vosges in France  .

Finishing the Grand Trail du Saint-Jacques will give you 3 Running Stones and an UTMB Index in the 100 kilometers category, which means you can run the CCC or the UTMB at the UTMB finals, if you get drafted.
