MEGAVALANCHE. It's a crazy extreme race. When I crossed the line for the first time last year, I already knew that I'm comming back. One year later I was at the glacier again, stressed and scared as never!
You always forget what was happening and you only remember the good stuff. It was the same with Mega, it's so intense! It is something what you want to do all the time, but also never want to do at all!
Mass start at the top of the glacier at 3330m is just insane. Its that steep that you cant even walk down. If you just sit, you will slide down like in aquapark! Even this video can't show you the atmosphere really, you have to come and try yourself.
This time I knew already a bit about mega. I qualified 3rd, which meant 1st row for the final. Well, this year the start grid was a bit narrow which meant I was in the second row, but pretty much on the front of the pack. I tried to be safe on the glacier and than I tried to fight my way forward. Unfortunately I completely burned out myself on the climb and almost had to stop. I think it was a combination of a few things. I did a extreme stage race just few days back so I didnt rest much and the elevation and thin air...
Well, I made it over the climb in top20 still and when I started to chase and fight again....I had a flat. Bummer!
Next time guys!
