UTMB CCC is the race of my dreams. The race around Mont-Blanc and the race with the most magical finish of all races.

It's the week after UTMB and I haven't shaken off the disappointment of my DNF yet. It's going to hurt a little longer.

Toni McCann and Hayden Hawks have won the UTMB CCC. For Hawks it meant his second win. McCann won last year OCC.

The UTMB CCC brings the best ultra runners in the world to the starting line. Especially in the women's race.

She doesn't have a big sponsor, isn't named among the favourites in any preview. Yet, Hau Ha Thi is ready to surprise.

They are here, the pre-race jitters. Now that I've picked up my bib number for the UTMB there's no escaping them.

Yes, two days of good news. As good as it gets. But the most important thing, I'll be at the start line of the UTMB CCC.

I don't know how it's with you, but I'm always a bit over enthusiastic. Especially when it comes down to running races.
