More experienced guys tend to stay a bit longer in Courmayeur. But maybe that’s not how this race is won anymore
Zach reminded me way too much of my last 100k where I did the exact same thing to pass a couple guys and try and get in the top 5. I ended up blowing up walking to the next aid station and dropped after I couldn’t recover, even after spending 45min trying. Because of that, I’m not very optimistic of Zach’s move, but would love to see him prove me wrong.
Well, except it's Zach and far from his rodeo. A long way to go though so we'll see.

Yes of course, I am nowhere near his caliber. I watched the whole transition on the feed though, and he basically sat, chugged some water, stuffed his pockets, and left.
Jim sat, changed his top, ate multiple different foods, drank a good amount of water and mix, and then left. Still very efficient and quick, but got a lot more into his system and made sure he’d be comfortable in the night.
Tom has FINALLY made it to Courmayeur. He looks toast, probably going to drop.
Anyone know what just happened at Bertone? Jim was first in all smiles per iRunFar, Zach a few minutes later, but now the live feed tracking suggests Zach has overtaken?

Oops wait, last checkpoint was Bonatti. So something went wrong for Jim after Bertone I guess?
It’s shows him like seconds ahead, appears he caught Jim and is trying to make a move.
That’s what I gathered. Jim’s couple minute lead vanished quickly between the last 2 checks. Could be anything from a nature break to a rough patch. Hopefully they work together for a while and create a nice cushion to 3rd.

Well they're starting up Grand Col Ferret now, things are going to start happening.
