Photo by iRunFar/Kirsten Kortebein
David Laney finished third in the 2015 UTMB with a time of 21:59:42. The race is around 170 km and 10,000 m of positive altitude change. Just think, that’s like doing four loops of the Big Day!

After over 100 miles, David finished just two minutes behind second place. Amazing considering this was only David’s third attempt at a distance this far.

Session 1, 2015 Photos
I’m sure you session one campers will be checking the website continually to see if photos are up (I know I did as a camper). I’ll be on the mountain all week for session 2 so expect photos to start appearing the last week of July.
Until then, I’m trying to upload highlights from the week, but the hotel internet isn’t exactly what you would call speedy.
Top’n out at 80KB/s – About as fast as the average pace out of the canyon on Big Day 😉
