FRIDAY, AUGUST 31st / DAY 2
60,2km in 8 hours
Variaton in altitude : 2 600 km
Start : 6.35am
A climbing day. Serge’s decided to go slowly to be in good shape when reaching the col tomorrow at Ticlio.(4818m)
He runs at a slow pace, however at the altitude of 3000m, he is out of breath, which is surprising, he’d never had this problem before.
Still sunny but with a little wind towards the end of the day.
A little worry with one of the vehicles which breaks down in a tunnel, nothing serious but Serge must stop , he can’t see and the road is dangerous.5 minutes lost.
Today the camp is calmly set up . Clouds gather over our heads and the cold settles in in the village of Chicla (3800m) .
We’ve just sorted out our problem of connection to Internet and it’s with a great pleasure that we can read the dozens of messages sent by friends, relatives, sponsors and even anonymous people.
Serge’s spirits are high.
