The sleeves of his shirt look like a &quot;spinnaker&quot;. He has  been fighting for a few hours already ; he succeeds thanks to his courage as  usual. The first part was covered at an average of 9\/10 km\/hour. Head down, with  the nose in the handlebars, he\u2019s always fighting with the same arguments,  pugnacity remains his main trait of character. The (80km) 49.7miles are over for  today. Next ones&#8230; The morning freshness diminishes as the sun rises. Dusk is  the moment we are all waiting for, without mentioning the cup of strong black  coffee to get us going. We feel more and more tired. We are all longing for a  lie-in, coffee, bread an butter and jam (and a nice croissant for me, please)  some of us already think of being back home. They think about restaurant and  good meal with friends. Rio will be an anticipation of the work done, but there  is still a lot to do. 9.10 days of running??? By counting then all the time, we  don\u2019t really known any more. There is one who counts and counts again, it\u2019s  Serge&#8230; (700km) 466.1 miles of hills, it makes you wonder and it isn\u2019t  finished. As a French saying goes, when you like it, you don\u2019t count. As for  the race, let\u2019s keep our fingers cross, we could all become superstitious&#8230;  Serge fears the pain which may come back at any time. But we know now how to  deal with it. The prescribed medicine works. The second black point is the  profile of the stages , and this too isn\u2019t the best. But, tonight, COPACABANNA  is ( 700km) 435 miles away from here. And we can\u2019t imagine what could stop us.  The phone is ringing&#8230; The mails are piling up. Friends, family, relatives,  anonymous people want to know how he is doing. We are getting more and more  encouragement, that does our &quot;ultra runner&quot; a lot of good. Before  meeting at the sand heap we still have a few nice days to go. Same time, same  place, same site.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<div id=\"galPhoto\">\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-south-america-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/11\/img_2198.jpg\" >&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-south-america-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/11\/img_2219.jpg\" ><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-south-america-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/11\/essai2.gif\" >&nbsp;  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-south-america-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/11\/img_2230.jpg\" >&nbsp;  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-south-america-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/11\/img_2195.jpg\" ><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-south-america-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/11\/essai1.jpg\" >&nbsp;&nbsp;  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-south-america-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/11\/img_2206.jpg\" ><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sergegirard.com\/5continents-south-america-en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/11\/img_2223.jpg\" ><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Friday, November 2nd Day65 Miles\/day : 49.7 (80km) Total : 2794.9 ( 4497 km ) Daily running time : 9h 12mn Daily average speed : 5.4 miles\/h ( 8.7km\/h ) Here we go again&#8230;..
