The Hardest Decision in Ultrarunning | Chris Myers at UTMB

Brooks pro Chris Myers arrived at UTMB ready to test himself against the best ultrarunners in the world. After months of preparation for the premier event in trail running, he was ready to execute his strategy. For five hours, he held his pace and was where he wanted to be. From there, he had to problem solve and improvise through blisters, a foot infection, and mounting fatigue. After 114km and 6,500m of elevation gain into the race, Chris made the difficult decision to step off the course. One DNF contains many lessons. Chris left Chamonix determined to learn from this year and continue his mission to get better. 0:34 – The spirit of ultrarunning and Mont Blanc 1:07 – The thrill of race day 2:20 – The challenge of the climb 3:28 – Hitting the wall 4:25 – Deciding to pull the plug 5:15 – Reflecting on the year's journey 5:41 – Setting intention for the next challenge
