So did anyone get in any of the 3 finals? 
I got in the ccc on my first attempt so happy with that. 
How many attempts and stoned did people have?

Did CCC two years ago, first time entering lottery. It’s a beautiful route. The first climb demands a bit of respect

After 7 failed attempts in the UTMB ballot this was the first year that I have not bothered to try.

I seem to have lost my enthusiasm for it and another attempt that the Tor des Geants is what inspires me at present.

I'm sure that I will be back to try my luck in the UTMB in the future but it just wasn't my dream event this year.

Yes that climb out of courmayeur is certainly a big one, having done the UTMB in 2023 I am looking forward to a faster race this time

9 at my last attempt and 5 the time before that.

Somewhere along the way I was credited with 13 stones for finishing the 100k at Val d'Aran and then lost them all when I failed in the UTMB lottery and entering TDS instead.

I have reached a point where I am exceedingly relaxed about the lottery. I choose another great race as the fallback option each year and the ballot becomes little more than the flip of a coin to choose where I will be racing in August/September.
