Black Pants Purple Shirt What Color Shoes



The report is late, but we were lost because of the wolf ... ... ... .... ! ! !
Talk about an adventure!

With Philip and Cecilia, we moved to a stand at the City Clerks for racing Ludo le fou.
In the field around the room, the riders arrive and settle, tents sprout like mushrooms. It's a beautiful day.
calm atmosphere in the room where 4 stands share the questions of the riders. Activities are planned for kids is great (make-up, racing games, ....)

Then comes the hour of departure for the 1st race the maratrail. A big wolf hanging from a crane gesticulating to comment on his ordeal. We are preparing, in our turn to be on the line of 18kms. HOU HOU HOU, we were not afraid of the wolf!

It should be well hidden on Saturday evening when the runners took off directly into the forest, a journey punctuated by hard haystack (first hurdle), a small narrow bridge where you have to go one by one, or else ... plop! placards, puppets, funny little words to pass the test ....
Upon arrival, another surprise awaits us, and more encouragement of the spectators and the voice of Philip which surpasses all noise (I heard it before seeing it!): you must climb over stacks of hay! Well, just take the right call of the foot and it passed, yet one would think that with the miles in the legs, we do not happen, well think again!
I must go and as Cecile and Philip stayed for the evening, I let the hand ...

well deserved shower, I joined Philip to continue to encourage the runners last maratrail arriving very tired at nightfall.
Aperitif and dinner direction head to head (you'll notice the chance) with our MacGyver! Learn a little tense who will have to speak on the podium, I want to write some notes.
22h, the awards began. On this occasion we take the opportunity to provide a common gift (Marathon de Cheverny and Maratrail On the Trail of the Wolf) to all riders who participated in both races.
A beautiful fireworks display to end the evening and hop back to Blois.
Thanks to Ludo and his team for the hospitality we have reserved. Veronica & Cecil

The particularity is never flat. It goes ... .. and downs.
For many years the race gathered around 1000 runners. For the last huge success with over 1400 riders at the start, and many dressed.
Corine, Veronique Marc, Philippe and Christian would want to miss anything in the world this year that deserves to be included in the challenge of usability.

We took the opportunity to test and honing our costumes for the Medoc marathon.
We ran all five, without trying to make a perf ... ...
