Madagascar 2014: Stage 1 I am now feeling the real challenge of my year 2014… After a summer of mountaineering and bouldering in a cold Chamonix it is very difficult switching to running on flat ground with 9 kg on my back — in tropical heat and humidity. Running 250 km will make me loose the gained muscle mass in my upper body for the upcoming bouldering trip to Bishop in a few weeks. Guess I have to do pull-ups and push-ups after each marathon here!? :-) The scenery here is fantastic – a mix of Guadeloupe, La Réunion and Hawaii. We ran the first 10 km on the beach and crossed many small villages. With my first pair of socks already destroyed (out of 2 pairs) I wonder how my feet will look like in a week…? I finished the 40 km in 4:50 hours and is ranked 30/230. #adventurelist Photos: 4deserts
