THIS IN 2 HOURS AGO LOCAL TIME:
The UTMB started on time and is now being cancelled due
to the severity of the
weather. We arrived for our coach transfer to Italy
at 9pm and are now
sheltering in the sports centre while they decide
if our start will be delayed
or cancel our event as well, so I was right to
be concerned about the bad
weather forecast. The UTMB had to be stopped in
part because of a mud slide on
way up to the Pass into Italy.
They now have a logistical nightmare about
repatriating them or transferring them to Courmayer
to start again in morning.
The CCC has reached Switzerland & is also experiencing
bad weather. No idea if
they are keeping us waiting to see if we start
later rather than cancelling
outright. Bit difficult as hard enough to start
at midnight starting at an as
yet undisclosed hour would be probably harder.
I have no spare food/drink pre
race than I had allowed for on a midnight start.
At least we are indoors in the
dry rather than struggling over a high pass
in stormy weather!
With regard to logistics for bad weather
on OMM and recent experience in
Borrowdale it is very sobering. RAMBO
