This morning, Serge manages to have a good breakfast. He decides to run about 18,6 miles (30 km), his belly doesn’t hurt him anymore. It’s a big relief for the team. Serge covers a distance of 21,1 miles (34 km). After a transition day, the morale comes back, on the runner’s side as well as on the followers’. The prescribed treatment seems to be working, in spite of the tropical heat which is still there. Serge seems to have set off again for the last stage of this trans – continental.We’re looking forward to being in Santa Cruz.
