Kaori Niwa, Japanese ultra-trail runner, finished UTMB 2021. She arrived finish point with 2 friends running happily together.
Actually Kaori ran out of gels after Vallorcine and experienced hunger knock between the last peak and the last aid station where is very technical.
“ When I come down safe, I was so happy. I was so happy to see my friends who were the ones running to the finish line.
They are from Saint Gervais. I promised them that I finish as early as possible and have dinner together, so that was my big motivation too.
Without them, I would take more time.”

日本長途越野跑手 Kaori Niwa 完成 2021 UTMB, 跟兩個朋友很開心地跑回終點! 原來在回終點前, Kaori 經歷一點難關!
她說：「 我感到鬆了一口氣， 我於 Vallorcine (約155公里) 後已無哂 energy gel, 我爬最後一個十分technical的崎嶇大山時, 肚餓得很厲害。當我堅持到能夠安全落山時， 感到十分高興， 可以開心地跟朋友一起跑回終點。」
「我的朋友來自 Saint Gervais，我在賽前答應他們盡早完成賽事然後一起吃晚飯， 如果沒有他們這股 (等我吃飯的) 推動力， 我應該唔可以咁快完成。」
