This race starts in the Bois de Boulogne, crosses the Seine, over the hill at Suresnes, thru Croissy-sur-Seine, then up the final hill to finish at the Chateau de St-Germain-en-Laye. It’s about 20km. It is a fast course except for those 2 hills which take your breath away.
I finished the 20k in 1:40 official time which was 790th place overall out of 3682 and 74th out of 440 in my category.
I think I ran a good race except for the last climb where I kind of dialed back the effort level. At the finish I ate some fruit, picked up my finisher’s medal, turned around and started the run back to the start line. I wanted to get in my last long run before the Laurel ultra. Plus I had to go back and get my car.
I ended up doing about 37km.
