My 1st Trail training in Huaraches

Last Sunday, I tried mountain trail in sandals and it works...with poles though to help while descending. 11 km and 675 m ascend and descend. My Xeroshoes Amuri Cloud are amazing.

Trail du Salève 2014

Dimanche 11 May 2014. 35 km, 1900 m ascend, 2200 m descend. 200 participants, 175 finishers. The 1st one did it in 3h11. I finished 172nd after 6h45 of "running". Again, no pain, just pleasure! And super fresh at finish. I even sprinted one last guy before the finish line. Poor guy was totally cooked. Very lucky with the weather, it rained the night and days before, and we had a storm after, but no rain during it. Just very slippery in some places. A very good training for the Eiger Ultra and the Samaria Ultra Kayathlon. And a Bière du Salève as prize. Nice! My Inov-8 Trailroc 235. Probably the best trail shoes around these days with the Merrell Ascend Gloves. Note the cheering crowd!!!   La Grange Gaby: Un point central pour de nombreux trails dans le Salève.
