I am joined by frequent co-hosts Brett Hornig and Leah Yingling to recap the week that was in Chamonix, France for the UTMB series of events. We talk about some of our favorite performances and memorable moments, what the events will look like in years to come with all of the application changes, the impacts of these races on the overall 2022 mountain ultra trail running season, and much much more.
