30 and October 31, 2010
FLEURINES is a quiet little village and regular in the Paris region. What characterizes it is its location in a clearing in the forest Halatte, included in the massive Three Forests with Chantilly Ermenonville, and his mound of Mount Saint Kitts and Hermance (185 meters altitude). 
This is for the next location. But what most characterizes this small village is the determination and the will of a small team to run for a good cause: Association Julien and Janadev . A team that engages enthusiastically in a very nice family, not wanting to do too much but just enough, and very good.
What brought me here? Discovered in a calendar on the Internet, this race I immediately attracted by his concept of "challenge": 30 km on Saturday night, and the same course on Sunday morning. And the fact of running for a good cause adds a little more. Are also offered a path of 15 km and 15 + 15 challenge. Nice, right?
Ja go only to discover an organization very locale, far from professionalism, but that seems effective. The atmosphere is very casual, dress and emotion to boot.
8:00 p.m. Saturday . After a short briefing reminding us of the safety rules, field condition (made very bold with the previous days of rain), a small temperature rise with coach comes the fateful moment of departure, under the arch .. arrival. The weather is mild, about 10 °. About 70 runners on the 30km.
And what I considered a "nice little 30 km in a hilly area shortly" turned over the selective km race, with some beautiful little steep paths, one or the other steep descent, but also many passages very muddy, greasy and slippery, requiring a good front (or two) and has a concentration at all times or risk being "gammel"! 
The first 20 kilometers is held relatively well, but slower than my estimates, and the last 10, especially the last 5 were tiring, cramping limit, with an accumulation of mud (a good kg by foot!) underfoot eliminating any traction. 
short, it is only 3:32 minutes later, and very tired, I cross with relief and look more moderate than saving this line. 
Décrassage in the true sense of the term (....!!), good shower, small meals scheduled. And in a small room housing the town hall, where we find ourselves in a small half Scout ambience, piano and Beer! Advantage of the night: the time change, we will sleep 1 hour longer. Not negligible ...
Sunday 7:30 . Mild temperatures, it rained a little at night (it's clever, huh!), And the day looks fine. I feel no soreness or pain of yesterday is a good sign. Peti-breakfast (offered), bib (this is not the same as yesterday), warm-up, briefing, warm music. We will be a good score to take the challenge 30 +30. Registrants all made fresh daily are identified by their place "clean."
Departure at 09:30. If I place myself in the front line, it's just for the photo, because I go to a cautious pace. 
Allure that I will keep for a good half of the race, walking uphill, like most "30" yesterday.
Because then, I blame a big deal of fatigue, more juice in the legs. No pain, but more energy. While the field seems more feasible (except in some places ...) that 
yesterday, that management is easier than in the dark. But nothing happens, my few attempts at recovery are ignored ... I have myself to accept my status: I have accumulated an excess of fatigue and it is time to lift the foot a bit and rest. It smells lived ... (See Mega Trail of the Bulge in July). There is a limit to everything. And it is chatting with a competitor in the same state as me, in this forest friendly Contemplating the bright colors of this beautiful autumn day brilliant (it's poetic, is not it?) that I will join the line at a time .... longer than the day before! So that logic would dictate that, to date, it improves ...
Results:
- Saturday: 03h32.33 - 32 th on 67-3 e on 8 cat
V2 - Sunday: 03h52.09 - 48 th on 53-3 e 3-Cat V2
- challenge: 12 out of 15 e
And mind "trail" is also the knowledge, the reunion: "We has not already seen it somewhere? . Here, a rider on the Eco-trail of Paris, a competitor on the Mega Trail of the Bulge; there, a volunteer on the Trans-AQ '; Raidlight members of the team ... And new friends, like Gilles, Sophie, Fabienne. Very cool!
In fact, we never lost ....
