Keep in mind that the CCC was my first 100k and I have yet to figure out if it is a distance that suits me; I really enjoyed the race but a lot depends on the context: the UTMB event is beautiful but I would like to figure out if competing over a similar distance in a less beautiful context is equally in my wheelhouse.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SL<\/strong> Of course if you choose the UltraDolomites you definitely fall on your feet, the route is even more beautiful and varied than Mont Blanc.
