Remembering Basti Haag
It is with deep sympathy that I make this posting dedicated to my friend Basti Haag. I discovered a couple of days ago that Basti has been killed in a tragic avalanche in the Himalayas while making a descent.
Basti a very cheerful adventurer also worked as a product development officer for my clothing sponsor UVU.
He had been a keen supporter of this run and had hoped to come out to me while I ran through his native Munich state in Germany. Unfortunately we did not meet. But he said he would be back from his expedition before I finished.
UVU clothing designed primarily for ultra running and an anagram for You Verses You.
I dedicate my Malin Head to Mizen Head run (which is incorporated in the Ireland lap) to the memory of Basti Haag.
M2M an anagram for Malin Head to Mizen Head.
My thoughts are with Basti’s family and friends at this sad time.
