Haha that's funny, I'm standing next to you on the start line (on your left, guy with the blue headband) and I finished just a few minutes ahead of you ! We probably crossed each other a few times along the way. Nice video, thanks for posting, and congrats on finishing the race !
Now that’s epic! If only it wasn’t all a blur we may have actually realised at the time!
I remember speaking to you at the Champex lac aid station, you said you were injured and you didn’t think you’d finish. Glad you did mate.
Hey Alex, I remember chatting to you! Yes, the bad cramping, I eventually found the massage ‘tent’ in Trient which made all the difference! You did fantastic mate, well done yourself!
@@KaitiakiEnduranceSports cheers, it was a bit of struggle at times. My vegan friend Martin, who you spoke to managed to get in just before the cut off after spending the whole night not being able to get anything down. He’s releasing a video on Saturday on his channel kelpandfern.
@@alexdoherty1984 I’m looking forward to seeing that! It was tough day (and night) so just to cross that finish line is a massive accomplishment irrespective of the time!
Good job and fantástic video 🎉🎉🎉
thanks for filming man ! great race!
Great video! Almost my experience… I was only 3 minutes slower. 😃
Epic man! Well done. Massive life experience and bucket list event.
Thank you Shaun!
Great vid Ben! It looks like you paced yourself well!
Thanks so much Chris!
Honestly, would've loved to have gone a little quicker but with the severe cramping and occasional nausea, I was pretty stoked to finish. I'm sure you'd appreciate these challenges 😉
@@KaitiakiEnduranceSports you made it having overcome those obstacles! Great job 😎
Does the conga line of people (that doesn’t look like you can pass at all) essentially clear up after the first aid station?
Once you hit the summit it starts to flow
@@KaitiakiEnduranceSports thanks!
