OMG finally i hear Germain speaking english!! Good luck for both.... Katie we'lle be following you from Argentinaaaa, you're just amazing!

[@obsidiantain]

What an awesome pair. I think they are both candidates for the W in their respective races. Germain a dark horse perhaps but he has the chops and it's clearly been a focus for them both, with Germain just having his 2022 plans derailed.

Man I wish that Katie was doing UTMB this year! I think she would beat Courtney.

[@_alexjulia_]

Why do you think so? Courtney won Western States 100 in front of her and also Hard Rock 100, I guess she will win UTMB as well :)

[@runningforviews]

@@_alexjulia_ I think she could have beat Courtney this time because Katie didn’t do Hardrock haha. But yes, team Courtney for UTMB!

[@joanneleyva4942]
