๐๐ช๐ง๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต. I take whatever the rare Congratulations any day.
๐๐ช๐ง๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ด๐บ. I have not followed too much about
@utmbmontblanc lately.
๐๐ช๐ง๐ฆ ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ด ๐ฐ๐ฏ. While at work yesterday, I was reminded of its deadline.
So, I had to pull the trigger after months planning. Uh, it's not UTMB but only the humble and less known
@ecotrailparis (/) in its 16th year. With the RTO in place, it isn't easy to travel these days, let alone far away in Europe with the daunting expenses. I can no longer travel for 4 months outside USA like last year. (Hint. Do join
@awesomejosam Mega Lottery crowd, so one day, we don't need to worry any more. And yes, there might be a deadline too. Act quick.)
Donc, Merci beaucoup, Madame
@mariouneinberkeley , for giving such a brilliant sightseeing idea last year. I went on to check a good portion of the course back in Oct (/activities/7910623759) and I was totally blown away. It was like Fear and Loathing including both SF and Marin.
Nothing can beat when you start the marathon from the magnificent Chรขteau de Versailles built in 1623. Yes, it's 400th year in 2023. It becomes my de facto Paris Marathon. Furthermore, nothing can beat when you finish the original 80K in the late night with the cheer and applause of many tourists from around the world along the streets all the way to the top of Tour Eiffel for your rewarding panoramic view of The City of Lights. Sounds like the Twin Peaks climb for the finish, eh? It's hard to pick the distance. Either way, it gives the goosebump and thrilling experience on par with your emotion and tears in rains mixed in 2,500 others orchestrated by Conquest of Paradise when standing for the start of UTMB in
@chamonixmontblanc .
Finally, just remember to wear the Irish Green โ๏ธ ๐โโ๏ธ ๐ if you do come.
@penperezstudio Penn will agree that Pamakids Green works too. Join them and Go Green.
Therefore, this is my first race in 2023.
@iworldrunner ,
@aehrwyn , et al, Rendezvous?
