Fred ProstRan in 2015 · Finish time 7:48:24
“I was desperately waiting for the water I'd drunk to take effect.”

The runner injured a hand and knee in a fall at Trail des Six Burons, then briefly faded on the Puy Mary climb. Water and applesauce helped them recover and enjoy ridge views on the way to finishing 67km.
