For the second year on the trot I made the trip to Franceto run the Medoc marathon, although this time I left the family at home.
This quite simply is the best marathon on the planet, forget a timed performance, just embrace the atmosphere, company, wine and food.
This year saw 34 degree heat which made it a little more challenging, non the less I put in my best effort at all refreshment stops, including four oysters at mile 23 and made it before the six and a half hour cut off.
Would I do it again? Count your life on it, this is about to become my annual pilgrimage.
