Seven lessons from the DXT

Looking back at the Dolomiti Extreme Trail, there are seven lessons I’ve learned. I'll share them with you in this post.

DXT: fighting cut-off times

The Dolomiti Extreme Trail is precisely what the name tells you; extreme. 55k, 3.800 meters of altitude & grades of 50%.

My race plan for the DXT

It’s 5 in the morning, 24 hours for the start of the Dolomiti Extreme Trail (DXT) race. What will my race plan be?

Back in Forno di Zoldo for the DXT

What started as just an idea, is going to be reality in less than 57 hours: the 55 km race at Dolomiti Extreme Trail.

The lessons of Ultra Trail Snowdonia

The Ultra Trail Snowdonia was my last big preparation for the Dolomiti Extreme Trail. Let's look at the lessons learned.

ERYRI 25K; a roller-coaster of emotions

ERYRI 25K: I have to climb 845 meters within the first 8,4 kilometers. Climb non-stop. I’ve never done that.

Three days until the ERYRI 25 kilometers at Ultra Trail Snowdonia. So time to run up Mount Snowdon for the first time.
