Sorry, I missed a few columns but I was hiking in Tuscany, Italy, and it was just amazing. Usually, when I travel, I look for races in the area, but since we were hiking about 100 miles and my hiking/life partner thought I should stick to our plan, I didn’t check this time.

So, imagine my surprise when we were leaving Siena and got caught up in the World Francigena Ultra Marathon. Even better, we could have had a fully supported 35K route as that part of the race ended in Buonconvento, exactly where we were headed. As we finished with the 35K group, many more went on to finish the 120K walk. Maybe next time.
