The mindset behind winning UTMB

Xavier Thévenard on winning UTMB (3 times!)

" I think what allowed me to win UTMB was that i did not want to win.  That's perhaps why I won it three times.  My goal was not to finish first, my goal was to give it my best, to overcome myself, to find my limits, to go faster with the best management of my pacing, the best management of my nutrition and to see the competition in that way, a competition with myself.  That's perhaps why i won it three times."
