329 – 08th January: trail blanc - Serre-Chevalier (05) www.trailenbrianconnais.com
distance : 30,200 Km result: 4h 17mn 22s
comment :
The year
began badly with the white
trail to
4h17mn Serre-Chevalier (30km)
and a big knee pain
from the second
km .... so
before the complications and
to determine the end
of the story towards
ultrasound ....
otherwise the path
where great
sinking at least 20cm to
80% on every
stride of the circuit ....
Support different, ankles
suffering and reinforce, in
short, a good training
for the trails
without snow ....
And besides great weather
except the
head wind for at least 7 km
....
Go very
happy when I recommend this
race!
330 – 22nd January: montée de La Garoupe - Antibes (06)
distance : 04,600 Km result: 21mn 24s
comment : I did an error in trying to do too much this morning on the small loop of 4.6 km to the Garoupe with accelerated too quickly and asphyxiation after 1.5 km on the first climb: bad, I had to keep training my pace yesterday ..... the good news is any more pain at the knee .... The bad news third V1 third but not podium .... it does not matter!
331 – 29th January: escapade vallaurienne - Vallauris (06)
distance : 15,000 Km result: 1h 14mn 01s
comment : With 500m over to run from this 15km race today, I improve my time by 20 seconds from last year, with no trace of fatigue, so happy, but a small regret: I should have m 'pull a little on the first 5 km instead of just looking to provide a cushy waiting for the rise ....!
332 – 12th February: foulée croisienne - La Croix Valmer (83)
distance : 11,000 Km result: 55mn 41s
comment :
First edition of
this race for me,
and pleasantly surprised by
this course mid-road,
mid-trail down the runway though
hilly, offering fine recovery.
After 2.5 km
of false flat down
on the road and a
very quick departure
from the first,
it's 4km of
track mounted
ahead: not knowing
the percentage I
am a bit reserved
about this part
here , a
bit too much, which made me
take risks on
2-3km downhill
on gravel
track well (trail
experience was
beneficial on this one)
and I could
keep going on last part
tarmac uphill.
Finally a good timing,
and this is not
the temperature below 0
° which prevented me
to take a lot of fun
on this course fully stocked with
supplies (3,
but I've used only one) .
An organization and
a very nice welcome
in this race that I recommend
for a paltry
fee of 9 euros!
333 – 19th February: les 12 km - Gorbio (06) www.asgorbio.com
distance : 11,700 Km result: 59mn 07s
comment : 2 minutes less than last year on this 12 km from Gorbio well with an undulating wall 700m final in 59min, but 3 minutes of my record on this course .... yes, speed is a bit over ..... not a severe weather super nice and a pleasure to do this journey that has remained the same after several editions since the organization is always perfect with a welcome on top!
334 – 26th February: half-marathon - Cannes (06) www.semi-cannes.org
distance : 21,100 Km result: 1h 44mn 56s
comment :
Okay, well this morning
I had gone in great shape
with a hare of
great quality
(thank you Ali)
for a small half-marathon flat
along the Cannes
Croisette: a quiet start
at 13km / h,
normal, although it
is not at all my
usual pace on
the long run
but why not try from time to
time .... After
5km, my
little hare has itchy feets,
I give him a
ticket out to do its race for
him .....
Remaining alone,
but accustomed to this situation,
I keep my rhythm somehow
during two
rounds of rides until
the 14th km,
and then failure:
no more juice, fuel, the
engine air holes ,
starts at idle and
not responding .....
Thankfully the
15th km of
station allows me to
refuel, but
the time to warm the machine, I had
lost more than 6mn
on my predictions,
and, disappointed by
a loss of minutes
impossible to catch up, but
encouraged by
fans, I puts
the turbo way to save
at least an average of
12km/h which
I still want to be faithful
....
Phew, the average is still
going!
335 – 04th March: trail des merveilles - Breil sur Roya (06) www.aromsazur.com
distance : 20,000 Km result: 2h 35mn 12s
commentaire :
4th edition
for this trail, and
the fourth participation
on my part, because the course
is really nice, and
the organization on top!
The goal for me
is to improve my time
as I did during the
previous three
editions. Knowing
the course, I go
quiet because
we start with 6
km climb to
800m of elevation gain ....
I reach the summit
under the hour which
was the goal and then
proceed quietly for
some 8km, which I
can catch
two dozen runners before
attacking a small "wall"
of 120 D +
on a little less
than a kilometer that breaks
though the pace
and legs ....
After this last difficulty
I see my goal
to beat my time
is at hand,
and I accelerate a little
over a portion hilly
but not too complicated ....
All goes well until the appearance of
a little hurt on stomach
that makes me a little
slow: well, only 3km,
not to release, this
is a technical descent,
but hey ....
Less than 2 minutes to
arrival: contract done!
336 – 11th March: Panathlon du Cap - St Jean Cap Ferrat (06)
distance : 11,500 Km result: 55mn 59s
comment :
A very nice
little run in 3 rounds
on Cap Ferrat.
In the first round, I discovered the
little surprises of the circuit,
with a nice little
climb that breaks
though the pace, keeping
a brisk pace,
and the two
rounds I used
to try to keep
this pace and enjoy
this race for
me a kind of
"split".
Overall I am quite happy with
this output remains
an interesting
preparation for
my goal of 24 hours race
in less than a month.
337 – 18th March: Riviera Classic - Vintimille / Monaco (98) www.fma.mc
distance : 23,800 Km result: 2h 00mn 22s
comment :
A classic
not to be missed by his
unusual background of the sea,
starting from Italy,
through France to finish
in Monaco.
24 km of
road bumps completely secure
with 2 selective hills
(1st and
14th km), and a few
reminders on
flat or false flat.
I took this course in
intensive training with the aim
to keep a steady pace and
finished in 2 hours,
done quietly
(with 22 seconds more
... hihihihi)!
All is well, I stay in my own pace
without getting too tired, and
feel almost ready for
the famous 24 hours
in 3 weeks!
338 – 25th March: foulées du Baou - St Jeannet (06) www.ensemble-avec-benoit.com
distance : 10,180 Km result: 49mn 42s
comment : A nice little run with a hilly course I like. Today I enjoyed myself on this course by keeping a pace of 12km / h without too much speed and not burn me. This course is very nice in the woods, but it is mostly a race to be encouraged to work on bone marrow donation!
339 – 31st March: trail - Mirmande (26) www.trail-mirmande.com
distance : 12,000 Km result: 1h 41mn 49s
comment :
small
warm-up at the end
of the afternoon in
a well
rugged trail of
12km with a
tour of the villages and direction
the woods of Mirmande....
I find this course
with constant
reminders and beautiful
bumps at 25-30%
good to
Itchy legs to 700m
of D +, and
a very nice
landscape.
A leisurely pace, for me,
under a bright sun waiting for
the main course tomorrow morning, but
before that, a
very nice welcome from the
organization with a
pasta party served in
the village church!
340 – 01st April: trail - Mirmande (26) www.trail-mirmande.com
distance : 45,000 Km result: 6h 15mn 11s
comment :
This morning
we do not laugh:
the weather is slightly
overcast, but, above all,
lots of wind and suddenly
it's pretty cool.
It starts,
like yesterday, with a
tour of the village and
the hills and
towards the woods
of Mirmande. Knowing
the beginning of the course,
the same as yesterday, I go
quietly, for me
it will be my last long training
before the 24h
of next week.
A journey without
much rugged
virtually flat portions,
except on one of the peaks
along the wind farm,
and always
raises, and a nice little
surprise at the end of last
term with a
brawny climb
to add the final more than
2000m of D +.
The scenery is superb,
the Drôme, the supplies
on top, nothing is missing, in
short, a pleasure to race in
these conditions.
Throughout the course
the wind did not
quit, but,
with the sun, it was not so
cold that it eventually.
My race was as
I had expected
(7 km /
h) and even a bit faster,
and I am very pleased with
this weekend in the Drôme
where I had the opportunity to
meet friends who always perfectly
organize their races
with a host
on top!
Do not hesitate, make the move
you will not regret it
.....
341 – 07th & 08th april: 24h - Saint-Fons (69)
distance : 110,113 Km result: 24h 00mn 00s
comment :
It is not
enough to be on top
in preparation
for a successful D-Day:
this weekend so I take
the departure of 24
in top form, the first 9
hours pass very well with
an average of 10.5 km
/ h, and,
suddenly, no more strength in the
left leg .....
I stopped, I ate, I went back,
but nothing to do, it won't
start again ....
Probably too full
of effort that
I pay, I hit
the 100km
loop, go to bed and
made a slagging
of 10km the
next day, not too much
history to draw on reserves
and to
rebuild a 24h
very quickly.
Pity, because, apart from a small
turn dry enough, the course
was ideal for me and
the organization
on top!
342 – 15th april: trail - Moulinet (06) www.traildemoulinet.fr
distance : 21,000 Km result: 03h 15mn 07s
comment :
to get back into running quietly,
it is with pleasure that I
participate at this trail for
the first time: the weather is
not very good
before departure and we are told
of snow on the highest point
at 1700m altitude
. I cover myself,
my belt, my canteen,
and go for a ride
I plan at least
3 hours, because there are
still nearly
1,400 meters of D +.
The route is almost all the time
in single-track
right out of the village, the
terrain is rocky, muddy
and a little slippery
sometimes with leaf litter.
Two big climbs and descents
with some false flats
between that can
revive a little, but
for my part I feel
a lack of power
so I do not insist and
do the race
in recovery mode except for
the last descent of
5km where I am
happy about
the technical parts, which allows me
to catch a dozen
runners and finished
in a time
Hon.
A great organization with two
beautiful pit stops along the
route and a meal
after the race at the top,
a very pleasant
journey through
the landscape as
by its technical race,
highly recommend
for future editions.
343 – 21st april: Cahin-Caha - Les Adrets de l'Esterel (83)
distance : 11,500 Km result: 01h 01mn 44s
comment :
a very nice
little run in the hills of the
Esterel, with a
hilly course
on trails well enough
finally rolling.
Today I did the race
as a hare to
take a friend on the podium, contract
done, as she finished
third in the scratch,
and for me a good
workout.
344 – 29th april: half-marathon - Nice (06) www.nicesemimarathon.com
distance : 21,100 Km result: 01h 42mn 27s
comment : Well, on this half-marathon I go quietly and does not spend the first 10km in less than 47 or 48mn .... I pass 47mn in without getting too tired, so I still look the same with a small slowdown over the last 5 km, probably due to boredom to a flat course (smile), but finally I finished this half without really fatigue with a time acceptable as better than the half of Cannes two months ago.
345 – 01st may: course du muguet - Cantaron (06)
distance : 14,200 Km result: 01h 42mn 42s
comment :
Two days after the half of
Nice it's a
small trail which
I am dealing with a departure
of a great
portion of climb to 18%,
and then the
percentage decreases but the
climb will take about 7km.
I start with a friend
without leaving
too much to pressure
and especially to support
her on this course she does not know.
The "climb"
is quietly
in single-track with
pit stops and a few
well-placed small raises
where I can
push a little for my friend
she still
keeps a good pace: she is
currently the fifth, but
behind the girls cling,
and before their
are not that far.
On a portion of raises
(successive ascents and descents)
quite technical as
full of stones, I gives
a quick acceleration
which allows her to outrun
his pursuers,
but before
they hold up .....
The last three kilometers
are slopes
with slippery rocks
though: I see
that she maintains her position
without taking any risk of injury
from a fall:
for me my "work"
is finished,
so I'm making a little fun
down thoroughly by doubling
some more cautious
competitors, and
ends with 20
minutes less than the time of
last year on the same course!
