Surviving the CCC - UTMB 2024

A personal journey, a race that did not go to plan! Some scenery, some aid stations, some running, a lot of walking.

Nice video, would love to do this some day.... Well done on your CCC!

[@Smashycrashy]

Great job getting it done! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! What an event, what a challenge, what an inspiration! Fantastic Henry!

[@HenryBarfootNZ]

Is that the kind of inspiration that makes you look up next year's entry details? 😀If not it would certainly make a great hike

Congratulations what a monumental effort and picturesque video 👏👏👏

[@HenryBarfootNZ]

Thanks Frank!

Typical kiwi modesty! Completing any 100km race is a hell of an achievement, completing that one - the elevation, the technical challenges and the weather - is remarkable. Great video. Thanks for such a frank perspective... I still want to have a go myself, I think!

Huge effort mate! Congratulations on completing a mind boggling race. Loved the video. Thanks for sharing. Glad you got your feet patched up at the medical tent and bounced back to finish well!

[@HenryBarfootNZ]

Cheers mate! It was a big day (and night, and next day...) 😆

Allez allez Henri

Merci merci!

Congrats! Are there mandatory qualifying races required to sign up for the CCC?

[@HenryBarfootNZ]

Sort of, you need to do a qualifying race in the UTMB series, basically something of a similar distance or difficulty. Then you get a certain number of points for each race you do, each point gives you an entry into the lottery. All the races in the UTMB world champs week are oversubscribed, so there's no direct entry unless you're a pro.
