Report

I landed in Bordeaux on the Friday. I set out to run Saturday morning. 64km on the first day went well.

Day 2 was my 50th Birthday!

Day 4 my body broke and I had terrible calve cramps.

Day 5 was hedious.

Day 6 and 7 went reasonably well.

Day 8 was a huge climb to start the 50km and then 30km down hill. This caused astress fracture in my foot.

The last two days were very sore and I limped in to Barcelona around 5pm and then took an hour to get to my finish point. 

Quite the journey! 584km.
