The year's UTMB champion Vincent Bouillard caught us all off guard at the end of August when he broke ahead of the pack overnight and came into Chamonix in 19:54:23, making him one of just four men to finish the epic race around Mont Blanc in under 20 hours.
Overnight, Bouillard went from under-the-radar runner to the top of the trail running game, and naturally, we all wanted to know how he did it, and what gear used. Turns out he's a shoe engineer at Hoka, so it didn't take us long to figure out which trail running shoes were on his feet (the Hoka Tecton X 2.5). Next up, we wanted to know what GPS watch he used.
