I Attempted the Swiss Alps 100 in 35 DEGREE Heat and THIS is what happened

Video Description

In 1865, my great uncle Edward Whymper became the first person to conquer the iconic Matterhorn, but only after facing multiple failed attempts. Inspired by his perseverance, I set out to run the Swiss Alps 100K, a race known for its breathtaking views and brutal challenges. With 6,000 meters of elevation gain, searing heat, and dizzying heights over the Aspi-Titter suspension bridge, this journey was more than a race. It was a tribute to the resilience that runs in my family’s blood. Like Whymper, who faced defeat seven times before triumphing, I took on this race knowing that success isn’t always immediate but always worth pursuing. I battle the elements, confront my limits, and reflect on my great uncle’s legacy along the way. It’s a story of grit, defeat, and the relentless pursuit of achievement.
