I am in Cortina, Italy. Man, what a place… I am in awe. Cannot wait to put my gear together, pin my bib on and explore these mountains. I am trying to share some tidbits from around town on the ECC live page.

The 10K happened last night as I was eating pizza, al fresco, as runners were rushing by to loud cheers from the crowd. Below are the results as they are trickling in… and I find time to post them – because you know… I got a few other things on my mind this week – like actually racing and hopefully finishing my longest race to date.

Find all UTMB coverage on my dedicated UTMB page here.
