My first 6-hour race.
With quite much experience from marathons and some 100K races I had the guts to open quite fast. During this cold day, approximately 5 to 10 degrees below zero, I passed 42 kilometres within 3hours and 15minutes. I kept the pace for one more hour and then I tried to increase it a little bit. I had no problems during my run and I was in great mood. Last part of the race was nice, I flow a bit and landed beyond 76 kilometres. A few seconds after the stop signal I ran to the showers. There I had a gainer for recovery, a hot shower, a decent meal and then I drove back home. Satisfaction was all around.
Last stage La Transe Gaule 2005, 1 kilometer to go...
Me, english american Russel Seeker and some French friends. After 18 days on the roads, running from the English Canal to the Mediterranean we ended up on the beach.
