Aletsch Halbmarathon

Finally got this run right, in great conditions, 3rd time lucky! Two years ago, I arrived on time but in a poor starting block, all I remember is being held up on narrow paths while having zero view as we were in thick cloud. Last year, I was help up at gondola station and missed the start, so this meant more frustrated trail trudging. At least we had views, the weather was clear, if a bit too hot.
This year, I arrived on time and started as close to the front as I dared, and it really paid off as I could run my own pace without holdups, or this time without me holding others up, and the weather was great - even nice to have thin cloud cover to keep the temperature down.
With other events coming up later this year, I even ran back down to Bettmeralp from the finish, as a good downhill training session.
