It was supposed to rain so I put on the tarp, but that was wasted time. No rain early in the morning.
The first stretch was 9km downhill to la Chapelle de Valdagemar. Small village in the valley of Severaise. Once in the village, brutal storm started. So time for breakfast in the local hotel.
After about 2hr it was good to go again, so I continued another 5km to the first ascent of the day. 1600m. I'm the middle it started to rain again, but not as hardcore.
Then I got the refuge de souffle where all the people stopped as the rain got hard again. I dressed up and continued up to col de la Vaurze.
I was smiling at the top. With rain and cold weather it was much easier. My body really liked it and I had no crisis the whole day. Awesome.
The descent to le Désert Valjouffrey was super steep, no running possible.
After refreshment and rest 45 min, I was ready for the second pass of the day: col de Côté Belle. 1000m.
In the middle it started to rain again. Great, no crisis!
Then descent to beautiful Valsenestre and camp there. What a great day!
Statistics: soul running. I did not track the km's. About 2600m up.
