One of the most memorable races of the year was stage 2 of the O’france 2016.

I was not in shape physically but on these grounds, it was not the most important …

The first competitors left under the storm and the rain soon gave way to the fog … arrived at the point 6 (A-Bis), I saw only 30 meters. As if the ground was not hard enough like that!

Luckily the conditions improved afterwards and I was able to catch up with a friend of my club left 15mn before me. We were of the same level and it was very funny to do a part of this race together. He then overtook me on the end of the race on a mistake on my part. Besides the pleasure of running against the weather and with a friend, I really liked the alternating terrain between long itinerary choices in the rocky plain and technical areas in the forest. Five memorable days in Aveyron!

Also I think this year we had JWOC Middle distance and OOCUP 2nd Stage as amazing courses.

Fin5 in Tampere or Estonian Week during WOC, if I’m still in time for suggestions.
And thanks Jan for organizing this every year!
