The Conservation Alliance's own Krissy Moehl beat all other women and most of the men in the Ultra-Trail Du Mont Blanc, a 100-mile trail race that circumnavigates Mont Blanc while passing through France, Switzerland, and Italy. She placed 11th overall with a time of 24 hours, 56 minutes.

What have you done lately?

Nice work Krissy!
