Trying to keep up with Elise Downing on the TMB (as far as the first refugio).

I appear to be back in the Alps.

Scenes at the Tor des Geants start.

Tor des Geants. Two minutes to go.

3,2,1. Truly inspiring start of The Tor des Geants.

Meanwhile Kirsty Reade’s Tor des Geants crew are discussing strategy for the first life base support point.

As the rain intensifies Jasmin Paris smiles her way through, early stages of The Tor des Geants.

The Kirsty Krew cheering Kirsty Reade through the 20k point. 310k to go. Weather sub optimum.

Nearly through the first night of the Tor des Geants. That’s John Kelly out in front, blue dot, Damian Hall in green group 7 and Sabs Verjee next in green group 2. The leaders are approaching the third of the way mark.

Meanwhile, even I went for a run between pizza and coffee.

Weather improving on the Tor des Geants, Kirsty Reade hits 100k in and a tonne of ascent behind her. We’re waiting for her in Cogne Life Base to get her fed and check her over. She sent us some ‘I’m here now pics’.

Meanwhile the race support crew take on some carbs.

THE SEARCH Preorder 'We grew into one here, grew strong, the harsh terrain beating resilience into muscle and mind. We learned to hear the wind’s song, to read what the land said. We laughed and cried, reached for the heights and achieved great things.' paulbesley.uk/book-launch/

At the start of Tot Dret. Seeing our team off, Rich and Krystal. Two nights and one day running 11500m of vert and 130k through the mountains. So hardcore.
