So many pictures… so little time!
Here is a selection of my favourite images to come out of the 2012 Cavalls del Vent part of the Ultra Skyrunnnig series.
Walking to the race start from our hotel, Frosty and Dakota relaxed with Kilian, Tony, Philipp and Terry behind.
The rush for the first corner in Baga
Kilian leading Tofol before Tofol retired
Dakota Jones running through the mist and rain at 2200m
Skyrunning is all about being above the cloud
Local hero and ladies winner, Nuria Picas
It was that cold Tony Krupicka wore a jacket with a hood!
Emelie Forsberg pushing hard in the early parts of the race
Dakota Jones
The day before the race, Kilian Jornet, Emelie Forsberg, Philipp Reiter and Terry Conway running to CP2 on the Cavalls del Vent course
The stunning scenery and views that we all missed on race day
Terry running on our day 1 recce
Emelie bouncing across the finish
Tony & Kilian on the finish line
Nuria triumphant
and finally a photo that sums up the sadness that we all felt, the day after the race when we all learned that during the night a female runner had passed away due to cardiac arrest induced via hypothermia. Our thoughts and best wishes go out the family.
Inspiring images Ian. Thanks for the fantastic Twitter coverage too, excellent job 🙂 Brings it all into perspective when runners are making the ultimate sacrifice during the race, very sad to hear about the tragedy. The mountains are incredible but sometimes cruel too. Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay.
Great images. Thanks for the race updates throughout yesterday. So inspiring and sad too.
