It was nice to meet you today on my aircraft, ive been watching ur videos and love it!!! Enjoy ur vacations!
I love your content !!! Keep up the good work !!!!!!!!!
wow I'm sure a hard decision but the right decision. I was out there with you and I think we came into together at Champex-Lac, Hope you get back to the start line one day. cheers
Thanks, and nice to know that we had a similar pace to Champex Lac. I will enter the lottery for next year (the injury is healed now), but my chances are statistically limited in getting a dossard!
Impressive just qualifying for the UTMB...nice video.
Thank you so much for sharing your extraordinarily amazing UTMB experience! You’ve been doing so great and putting your incredible efforts! And you could still make it to film and talk all the way during running, which is amazing! 👍👍😀😀 Bravo!👍👍💪💪
Thanks Jenny. I find it nice to film while racing, as it tends to take me out of the moment and find a good thing to share with the camera. All the best
Thank you for sharing. Congratulations with your course and the difficult decision to quit. Well done
So sorry for you. Part of the game though. Good luck with recovery.
Being Honest to self and hearing that voice is the hardest thing when there is a goal in front. Very good decision, may be a bit late but it was wise that you called it a day at the Champex Lac rather than up in the mountains with no connectivity. Recover well .
Tant pis pour cette fois ! Il y aura d’autres opportunités pour sûr ! Superbe vidéo en tous cas !
Good job ben and great video !!! I was on the 110k...very rocky...but so beautiful
Thanks very much Gilles. The 110km is a HUGE achievement on that terrain, nice work!
Great Work for both video and Race result !
Hey Ben - well done on a great race and thanks for putting out this video. I'm running the X-Traversée this year and was wondering if you had any tips or guidance on things you'd do differently a second time around? Many thanks!
Hi Edward, thanks for your support. Great to hear that you will taste this adventure this year. Preparation in the mountains is recommended since the altitude at a few passes is quite high and two of the descents are long and the quads could easily suffer. The ‘wall’ section could be a place to overtake if you have the energy, but I struggled there (like most) and got overtaken by some. The atmosphere, good food and amazing views should carry you through to Verbier!
@@BenNeedsMountains Many thanks for getting back to me, and for the advice. Best of luck with your next adventure!
Cool!
Hey Ben, i see you done the swiss peaks 100 aswell, I am pondering doing one or the other and wondered if youd care to share what you thought the better of the two? Thanks mate
HI Steve, tough question, as these are two magnificent events, and you can't choose wrong really. If you need running stones for a UTMB event later, then you'll only get that from the X-Traversee. I would say views are slightly better there too (running above a glacier!). Food is better on the Swiss Peaks, and finishing by lake Geneva is really cool, unless you finish in the middle of the night in the rain with no one around as I did (lol). Basically, flip a coin and have an unforgettable ride :-)
Bravo belle vidéo 👍👏👏👏❤
Merci Yves, content que vous avez eu du plaisir (a nous voir souffrir ;-) )
Great video 👍 I was far behind you so I did the Col de Susanfe in the rain 🌧
Great video! Impressive race!
Congrats on a great race and for filming all along the way! I finished 5 hours later. Nice to see how some of these sections look like during the day. On the other hand, it must have been quite challenging to do the final descent from the Pas de Lovenex at night!
Thanks! I would also have liked to see the big descent in daylight, although with the rain maybe the experience would have been similar 😆
splendide Ben, and as one of those 'behind in the mud', nice to see what the trail was like for those who got over le Col de Susanfe before the storm hit ! 😉
Thanks Marc. The weather played a big role that day. Congrats on your race!
Well done Ben, you really captured the event.
Thanks! It was an amazing setting, and lovely volunteers
Well done! I finished the X-Alpine and it was nice to see some section on your video that I couldn't see during the night on my race.
Wonderful to see it all back. That was one unforgettable day, for me, and by the looks of it for you.
Definitely unforgettable Peter, an amazing string of valleys connected by beautiful trails under a great meteo
Great first song
Nice one Ben...but why the snorkel?
Ha! That’s the helmetcam mount, it does look unusual I agree ;-)
awesome
Hey you guys, next time I wanna come too.... :-)
