Had an amazing week with Sean and Alicia. From the moment we got picked up at the airport everything ran so well. Their ability to gauge what the group would like to do on a given day and to adjust schedule according to weather and their local knowledge is amazing! From our first run near Cassis and down onto a stoney beach straight out of a scene from ‘The Talented Mr Ripley’ to our big event running the Trail Des Maures & and boat trip to local islands - everything was amazing.
The food, the accommodation, and the scenery are unreal.
We started out early on the Saturday to make our way to Collobrieres , a picturesque French mountain side village. It was here that the The Trail Des Maures set out from… and what a race it was!!!
Starting through the village, running with the sound of alpine cow bells from local supporters , we set off up the mountains. I ran the 32km route and it was an exceptional challenge. A great mix of woodland, farmland, rocky technical terrain and plenty of ascents and descents - over 1,700km of elevation gain!!! I loved it but it was definitely the toughest race Ive ran but so worth it!
We celebrated with a post race beer and some lovely food from Alicia that was set up at the foot of a stone bridge next to the river running through the village.
Back to HQ then to relax and recover in the pool and sauna - a perfect day!
