Sierre Zinal

[molehill]

on the results, it looks like Andy was 23rd?

[ZootHornRollo]

anyone signed up for either of these?

they are both part of the 'sky-running world series' apparently

thinking of going for both - should be good fun I reckon

Did Sierre-Zinal last year doing it again been invited back.

[Fleeter]

Did both last year and loved them,very differant races,the dolomites is a real tough mountain race,cracking descent whereas Zinal is a real runners race,fast tracks after the first climb,I'd do both if you can but if you can only do the one then do Zinal

Fleeter - cheers. I did actually run a good portion of the route of the Dolomites race on hols last year.

Have you done any other races in Alps or Pyrenees?

Scott - an invite, eh? Nice work.

I haven't done any other races abroad,but was planning on doing Thyon-Dixence,Sierre Zinal and the Matterhornlauf all on consecutive weekends this year until injury intervened!

Have a look at www.skyrunning.com for further foolishly hard races!

SZ is a great event - have done it 4 times - and if you have a non running but fit partner they can start at 5am. Lots and lots of up in the first third - the most fell like section is the 3km descent at the finish.

Thanks all.

I'm certainly on for the S-Z.

I have a choice between the Dolomites SR and this on the same Sunday which will tie in with the Alpine mountain stages of the Tour:

The Nuria, which is in the Pyrenees at the same time as the tour goes through on the 17th July, is full I think.

I'm doing the Dolomites Skyrace for the first time this year. It looks pretty brutal to be honest. 400m more climbing than 'The Ben', and I never run well there so this should be interesting. Still, cant wait! :thumbup:
