My run started after 8 am because I wanted to arrive in Nancy around 7pm because of a family meeting. 

Not the best strategy as it was a very hot day (35 degrees celsius at 2pm). 

I was very comfortable during the morning but after 11am, the sun was kind of burning and there was too little shadow in the route.

A bag with 2L of water and plenty of food was necessary.

My father was waiting for me at km 30 so I could refill water and everything.

After this little pause, it was really tough to head back, because of the heat, I stopped twice (once at a cafe to buy some water and then in a village to refill my gourds).

I will do it again next year with a better training and a better weather as well.
