La tour de la Gaude („Lou tour de la Gauda“) is always a special race for me. It has a personal meaning, it’s a family event and kindly enough even the retired mayor always makes sure that I sign up.
I ran it with the determination to enjoy it truly, and with family, friends and so many people along the challenging course in the hills of La Gaude that is not a difficult task.
It brought me a 2nd 🥈 in the French M4H = M55 as a tangible result 🏁 which I am proud of among the strong French trailers here, and it gave me tremendous joy. I completed this course in my fastest time so far, with no special explanation why – except the joy. I am grateful.
