Just this morning, random surfing led one to read about the Ultra Trail Tour du Mont Blanc (or UTMB) -- supposedly Europe's toughest marathon, with people running over a 120+ kms of trails circling the Mont Blanc* Massif. Its 2008 edition is happening in a few weeks.
"It'd be interesting to see", one thought. A bit more surfing, and one was deep within their site, reading a page where they were looking for volunteers.
On an impulse, one signed up, and was accepted into their tech team. Ergo, one is getting an insiders view at a sporting evant, and as a nice little bonus, an all-expenses-paid trip to one of the world's poshest ski resorts, Chamonix (in France), from where the UTMB sets off on the 28th.
Can't wait
* Mont Blanc, or Monte Bianco in Italian, is Europe's highest peak and is 'shared' by the French, the Swiss, and the Italians.

Absolutely Brilliant. When you said Mont Blanc I was actually wondering what the place was and WHY you were going there. But this is just perfect.
HAVE A BLAST :D
Thanks, Deeps!
Would you be around for the SC Mumbai Marathon 2009?
