Greetings from Recovery Land,...

... it sure felt nice to run again after taking a week off. It also felt great to run without my feet hurting like they did during the last 8 hours or so of UTMB. Until the adrenaline kicked in for the final kilometers of the race, my feet hurt immensely with every step of downhill or flat running for the last 30km or so. I suppose even with loads of training, it's to be expected that your feet will hurt after running on them for 37 hours!

...
Congratulations on a great finish of the UTMB! Awesome effort!!

I had to chuckle at your comment about foot pain. That is one my big points of agony on the long ultras, too - especially on the technical ultras, which I presume the UTMB falls into that category. I seem to have adapted a bit, but I don't know whether my feet have gotten tougher or I have gotten better at picking a good line that does not beat the heck out my feet!

I'm looking forward to the race report!
