My trip to Switzerland was rather impromptu. I had plans to travel to France for one of the UTMB races [the baby sister of the famed ultra, the OCC] in August and the more time I spent attempting to plan my extra 10 days in France I realized…10 days is not nearly enough! So I adjusted my flights and headed to Europe for three months, with no solid plans beyond my first week of racing in Chamonix, France. It has been one heck of an experience…which I am sharing, one post at a time.
