TGS Italy 2025

TGS, Trail Grigne Sud , is part of the Italian FISky national race series and is a UTMB event. It is run annually from the shores of Lake Como, north of Milan. strava results Official video: Somehow me, Mark, Neil, and William signed up for the 22km event, complete with a serious 1800m of vert. Eek! This was a follow on from our excellent RunTheWild running trip around the Dolomites. So we 4 stayed a night in Bolzano and then trained over to Milan on Friday. Unfortunately Neil had to DNS due to work and travel commitments, but at least Mark decided to man-up and compete, in spite of his gammy knee👍! I was feeling great, after having a head cold earlier in the week. Refreshed and super excited to be racing! The forecast was not great (25mm of rain!), so shoe and clothing decisions were a bit tricky. I might have slightly bought a new running pack in Bolzano, hey, hey!

He even drove us down there in the rain :) We got caught in a classic Auckland southern motorway closure, and in spite of repeated discussion about following the obvious detour we somehow all managed to stupidly miss the required offramp and thus spent an extra 2 hours crawling along the (closed) SH1 near Botany. But we got to registration at Waitomo and eventually Marakopa. I was feeling fit and well and really looking forward to having a fun run. Race Day Brett's relly Mark kindly agreed to drop us off at the start of the race (Mangapohue Natural Tunnel), which saved us lots of extra travel hassles. The weather was predictably err...

Dolomites 2025. Day 5

The last day of the running tour, and one of the best. I felt fully recovered and much more lively today. We climbed up out of Selva and past the manicured (non-golf course) lawns. There was a weird but cool sculpture. The weather was forecast to be pretty rainy, (and hence the goPro videos) but apart from some roiling clouds and a brief bit of drizzle, no problemo! We worked our way up towards a lunch stop, but unwisely decided to keep going to a further hut, which was closed. As was the next, and the next... Eventually (after a 1km detour) (aka Bruno Bonus) we found a spot of lunch😀
