The sky was gray and Serge got ready as he does every morning by applying anti-chafing cream “Nok” made by Akile\u00efne.  <\/span>Nothing is left out: knees, feet, inside the thighs, even tits and armpits.  <\/span>A few drops announced the deluge that accompanied us all day long.  <\/span>It’s a shame because the road was lovely: a small track that went along the sea, where there were some superb views.  <\/span>If the sun had been out it would have been paradisiacal.
<\/o:p>
For the first time, Serge was wearing waterproof clothing made by Mizuno.  <\/span>After almost ten hours of running he was dry: tested and approved.  <\/span>It’s great equipment so many thanks to Mizuno France and Europe.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

From adventure to adventure, we were well on our way when disaster struck.  <\/span>The very heavy camper got stuck in the mud.  <\/span>The 4×4 wasn’t far and came to our rescue.  <\/span>It pulled us out with surprising ease.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

200 meters<\/span><\/st1:metricconverter> further on we joined the national road, the rain had turned to melted snow.  <\/span>This bad weather had been predicted so we weren’t surprised.  <\/span>Snow had also been predicted.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/o:p>Serge advanced into the wind and snowy rain which was ice cold.  <\/span>Night fell and he arrived frozen to the point where his left hand was paralyzed.  <\/span>He hadn’t changed his gloves so they were soaked and his hands frozen.  <\/span>The blood was no longer circulating and he had tears in his eyes when I undressed him.  <\/span>It took a quarter of an hour for him to get feeling back in his petrified hand.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

What a day!<\/span><\/p>\n
