Andy and Tom have time for a smile...

Yep, it was business as usual for Tom Owens and Andy Symonds as they went for their third stroll in the Alps today. It’s no so much that they have no competition, more the fact that they are a pair of the best endurance mountain runners in Europe!

For a third consecutive day Andrew Symonds and Tom Owens of ‘Saab Salomon Outdoor’ demonstrated manifest superiority in the Men’s category. They did not just win on today’s course between St. Anton / Arlberg and Galtür but also managed to establish a new stage record with their time of 03:43:56.0 hours.

This performance effectively nipped ten minutes off the previous record established in 2007. The two ‘Saab Salomon Outdoor Team’ racers have extended their overall lead to nearly 50 minutes – a comfortable lead even with nearly two-thirds of the race still lying ahead.
