The day before the race, I wrote up some thoughts I was mulling over and posted them over at the LaSportiva Mountain Running blog. They kind of describe how I found myself in Courmayeur, Italy, about to embark on the Tor des Geants and the biggest challenge I have ever undertaken.
I found what was at the end of my pathway - did you?
(Yeah, I know it is funny to point to pre-race thoughts when it is all over anyways.....post-race thoughts coming up shortly.....)

Can't wait to hear about your great adventure Bruce. Is 6633 the next big adventure?
uhhh....6633....rrrrriiiight.
well, let's just get over this little 208-mile thing before thinking about 350-miles! On the up side, aside from the pounding my knees took down the mountains at TdG, the reality I discovered is that my pace could have carried on for much, much longer. So - let's just say "maybe" for now :-)
btw, Sue - Congrats on your success at Lost Soul!! That rock is pretty sweet, isn't it? :-)
looking forward to your post thoughts for sure. cool blog
Thanks for stopping by, Chris! I'm still processing the post-race impressions...it's hard to figure out where to start writing about a 111-hour journey, but it's coming. Stay tuned....
