Ultra Trail Snowdonia 50k is an extreme trail ultramarathon, held by UTMB in North Wales. Having just DNF'd the Thames Path 100 a week before at mile 84, I was nervous about this one. Was I recovered and fresh enough to take on the demanding mountains and insane elevation gain? I drove up to Wales to find out.

This video documents my experience taking on UTS 50.
