Ultra-Trail MB: 2 weeks to go !

!! Update 12/08 - 16:50 : there's a SMS service to follow the runners nearly in real time. At each control point (there are around 20), you get automatically the time on your mobile. This cost 10€ (euro). If you're interested, my race number is the following: 2790.

In exactly 2 weeks at 7pm, I will start to run the Ultra-Trail (if BA flights are back to a normal service). This personnal challenge is very close now, I am a bit afraid but try to keep optimistic. I hope the week hiking in the Alps helped a bit for long distance endurance, high elevation conditions and mountain's technique. My knees didn't complain too much there. I didn't dare go on the scale this morning at the swimming pool, I hope I've not lost weight.

If you've not sponsored me yet for my fundraising against AIDS you're still welcome to do it ! To date I've collected £17+£1.24/km which means, according to the following distances:
Les Chapieux (France) 44km £72
Courmayeur (Italy) 72km £106
Champex (Switzerland) 119km £165
Chamonix (France) 158km £213

Thank you !
