Swiss Alpine Marathon 2011 - July 30th 2011To do a bit of this:
78K on mountain trails, baby! :)The only thing between me and this race is 8 months of training. And a road trip to Switzerland.
Now, how do I train for a 78K ultramarathon with a 2230 meter / 7317 ft elevation? Uhm...I guess I have some figuring out to do. ;) Let's start with adding some miles to the long long runs. :)
And guess what, I couldn't be more excited. I actually got a bit teary eyed when I clicked on the 'Register' button. :) 'Cause this race is actually 'more than a race'! :) And now stop laughing at me! ;)
Do you want to join me? :) You can do so, or just check out the race on http://www.swissalpine.ch/.
If you'll excuse me now: I have some screaming and dancing to do. :)

I am envious! That is awesome! Good luck with the training!
I had to convert 78K to miles and now I am just in awe. You're amazing girL!
This looks like a crazy awesome race!!
YAY for you!!
Sounds like a total blast!!!!
Wow!!!! Good luck!
Why don't you all join me? ;)
I haven't even converted 78K to miles and I'm already in awe!
There is still a teeny tiny chance I could do this (42k... NOT 78k)
:)
@ Becka: YAY!!!! Than we could run the K42 together, since the 78K has a 7 AM start, and meets up with the K42 at their start line after 40K in the 78K race. And the K42 has a 11.30 start. So, if I'd manage to run that 40K within 4.30 hours, I'd be on time to catch up with you! :) Downside...I'd be exhausted at that point, and you'd be fresh and ready to go! ;)
