UTMB in 2 days - gloops ...

Update 24/08 - 13:10 : I forgot to tell you I've entered the London Marathon 2006 ballot.

The so-waited-for (*) day is nearly there ... I'm flying tomorrow morning for the Alps... A bit stressed, I reckon ! My gear is nearly ready, exhibited in my room, the MP3 playlist for the night run boost loaded in the player, but the funny gadget is still missing !

The trail will start Friday at 7pm. There were some floods on the route, so it may be slightly modified. I still wonder what will stop me: cramps, hypoglycemia, dehydratation, tireness, dodgy knees/ankle, hypothermia, lazy stomach, unconsciousness, ankle twist, renal failure, serious fall, huge blisters, burns, heart attack... or the finish line ? Maybe a combination of some of those ;).

You should be able to follow my race online on the UTMB website or by subscribing the SMS alert system (charged).

Am I bold if I remember you a last time that you can sponsor me for a fundraising against AIDS ? You can still send me an e-mail with you pledge or use justgiving, even during the race !

Next post when I'll be back ...

(*) nice frenchism ;)
