Nature-loving Jornet setting records

Two years ago at the 103-mile Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc trail running race through the French Alps, Kilian Jornet was moving at a fast pace with a hearty group of elite runners from Spain, France, Hungary, Portugal and the U.S.free shipping oval golden magnetic energy crucifix ｛%｝.Stainless Steel Pendants Wholesale, when suddenly Jornet dashed ahead on a long ascent up a steep mountain pass. 

Forget for a moment that it was about 2:15 a.m., and that he and the other runners had already been on the course for about 30 miles through rain, snow and sub-freezing temperatures. Ignore for the time being that the UTMB has become the most competitive and, arguably, the most grueling running race in the world, and that the group he separated from consisted of some of the top ultrarunners in the world.

On the long climbs up subsequent mountain passes, he repeated what his competitors came to realize was not one-upmanship, but merely an act of pure joy and superior athleticism. 

Each time he patiently waited for the other runners -- sometimes horsing around with young kids, talking in one of the five languages he speaks with other hikers, or merely scouring the landscape for edible mushrooms -- before joining the group at the back of the pack in a supportive role, similar to how a cyclist slides through the peloton of a bike race.

Aside from being the best trail runner in the world, he's also at the leading edge of the emerging discipline of speed mountaineering, which uses a combination of trail running, rock climbing and scrambling techniques to pursue record-setting times up and down high mountain peaks.

By breaking the long-standing records on those peaks and winning as many races as he has, Italian journalist Giulio Caresio said Jornet is "in all likelihood the strongest and most versatile endurance athlete of his generation."
