Petit tour dans le Salève en sandales pour préparer le Gypaete

4 heures, 22 kms, 1200m +   http://www.movescount.com/moves/move64242803 Avec Kristof, de sortie de crève et d'orteils explosés (8 sur 10 aux Crêtes du salève) Pour une fois on ne s'est pas perdu et on a trouvé le chemin pour aller à la Muraz depuis l'Observatoire, et on a rencontré un gentil blaireau, pas farouche du tout Et vers la fin, je sentais que la sandale gauche avait un peu de flottement dans le posé. Elle était toute prête à lacher juste en arrivant au parking. Timing parfait car samedi prochain au col de Jalouvre ça aurait été moins fun. Quoique ça ne prenne environ que 10 minutes à réparer dans la nature.

Trail des Crêtes du Salève 2015 in Huaraches

Finally a trail I could run in Huaraches. The week before was wet but not as wet as the week before the Malpassant. So I took my Skechers and my Xeroshoes, and asked the organizers just before the race. They said that it was OK almost everywhere, save for a small portion at the end, in the last leg below the Salève. Indeed, it was damp but OK, save for this last part, with super super viscous mud in the end, I had to run in the dirt and dead leaves after to get my Huaraches to stick again to my feet.   And now, I am ready for the Trail du Gypaete in Huaraches...

Trail du Malpassant 2015

After a week of pouring rain, sunshine just for the race. It was so wet and muddy that I decided to wear my Skechers GoBionic Trail instead of my Huaraches. That was a good idea. Trails were turned into streams, and we had to cross mud puddles big enough to drown people in them. It was a child's dream to run through them full speed yelling:"Watch out, it's gonna be wet", to the runners trying to avoid it on the sides....

Marathon de Paris in Huaraches

This time, I had the perfect match in terms of clothing. But the day before, at the Expo... We got the chance to touch a living legend of Running, Scott Jurek. The guy is soooo coooool... Then, we just had to run and then eat and drink...and rejoice... See you next year...
