UTMB Course
Less than eight hours before the gun goes off in Chamomix, France for the 2009 Ultra Trail Tour du Mont Blanc! I am ready to rip and roar on this 166 km course that I have come up short the past two years. Third time is a charm!

Krissy Moehl 2477

Bon course! to all runners including my friends from all over the globe who will be running around Mt Blanc!
I also posted a small photo album of a week in Chamonix on my Facebook Fan Page. Check out some of the scenery I will be enjoying on race day!
Finally a big thank you to all the support and encouragement all of you have sent my way over here in France! Thank you to my sponsors Brooks Sports, Green Foods, & Pro-Tec.

OK, now it’s ~6 months without an update. Give us what we want, Scott
How about a post on running with dogs? I’m guessing from the cover of Performance Nutrition for Runners that you’ve taken a husky with you in the past, yes? Do you ever still do this? Do you do anything different for food / hydration for them on the run? or after? I’m just looking for a question you haven’t heard much before.
Also – it was super cool to see you and Krissy (and many other great runners) at Orcas!
