The "peleton"

It was an awe inspiring experience seeing the first group come through as they hit the hills in the last 5km of the 42km Engadin Marathon. The speed with which they skied through this valley is hard to believe with the fastest achieving a finish time of 1hr 34 minutes! 4 hrs later some of them were still coming through. A few floundered and fell up the hills and we saw two poles break (so they carried on with one pole!) and it was all very interesting. An impressive performance from all 13000(approx) competitors!
