Hiking 1:00:00 [1]
Up the trail from Phats and Leanimal's place with the Tiny clan and Bash to the Prevernet. Fantastic view over Lac Annecy. They sure have a nice backyard trail!
We had a great lunch in the old town, then drove up the Semnoz for a magical picnic at sunset later.

Note
Pics are up for race report.
A few notes- I could have gone faster on the flats and gradual downs perhaps, but MsGally's climb pacing was a huge help- it turned out to be perfect. Going any faster on climbs would have just meant feeling sicker.
Not sure if I should have moved even further back in the pack on the first huge climb, and climbed with an even lower HR? It would have been pretty frustrating.
Here's a link to the conga-line image- at higher mag you can see it snake all the way to the top.

Must remember ginger pills and candied ginger next time I feel ill. It only came up once in my year of training on the longest run, so I wasn't able to test remedies for nausea.
I will always pack more of my own race food, things like chips and stuff that may not be in aid stations.
Bring an empty drink bottle to fill with coke or soup and bring along, as sometimes that's all that will go down. Ginger ale would be even better.
Might consider a Steri-pen so I can quickly get water on course, rather than carrying more onboard in areas like this with frequent mountain streams.

Running 4:50:25 30.64 km (9:29 / km) +1490m 7:37 / km

Fairly easy run with Storm to the Col before the big climb to Tete du Vents, where he headed up the steep rocky switchbacks to do the last stage of the race, while I jogged down to Valorcine. Much more scenic in daylight. They basically rolled the town up since UTMB, and there wasn't so much as a coffee available, but the scenic bus/ train ride back was nice.
