Running 3:03:00 [3] 22.3 km (8:12 / km) +1250m 6:25 / km
shoes: Salomon Speedcross
Tour de Mont Blanc
Day 3, am: Maison Vieille to Chalet val Ferret
Steep descent to Courmayeur to start the day was fine but on climb up the other side I seemed to have developed some tendonitis at the bottom of my hamstring. Bearable but a bit tiresome. Quickly forgot about it on the traverse from Bertone to Bonatti - possibly the nicest path I've ever run on. Dropped to the valley from Bonatti for a couple of miles on road to the chalet.
Lunch: homemade taglioni with porcini mushrooms. Amazing.

Day 3, pm: Chalet val Ferret to La Lachere
Super steep climb over the Petite col de Ferret. More Ibex at the top. More glissanding down the other side (then waiting for T who preferred to stick to the rocks). Bit of a faff finding the hut at the bottom - emergency use of Google maps!
Amazing thunderstorm lasted all evening. Trails won't be as dusty tomorrow!
Dinner: thin soup, rare burger and five potatoes, apple pastry. Had to be supplemented with crisps and chocolate.

Day 1: Les Houches to Refuge de la Croix du Bonhomie
Over the Col de Vosa (+600m) then down to Contamines for a cruise along the valley before the long climb up to the col and refuge.
Was a bit stressed because of the late start and how heavy my rucksack felt. T was powering ahead at the end of the day!
