Off on an adventure in Réunion! (page 2 of 2)

You all ready for the Diagonale des Fous? 😉

You all ready for the Diagonale des Fous? 😉

You say that because there's "diagonale" in the race name or because there's "fous"? 😏

What do you think? 😏

Starting with the Fully vertical kilometer as a warm-up...

(1,000 m elevation gain in 1,920 meters - 50% slope)

Is the photo below, where you can see the swimming pool, actually along the Bras Rouge River? A hike starting from Cilaos? After the Bras Rouge waterfall? I can't remember its name anymore: Bassin something?

I think Réunion was my most "active" trip, but it’s nothing compared to your wild pace!

The slopes on this island get tough fast!

No Trou de Fer?

That’s the Bassin Fouquet waterfall, actually in the Cilaos cirque...

It's the Bassin Fouquet waterfall,

yeah, or Bassin Alfred

Starting with the vertical kilometer in Fully...

(1,000 m of elevation gain in 1,920 meters—50% slope!)

We’d run into people training in Cilaos. We thought they were... crazy!

No, unfortunately, we left with a to-do list...

Hey Franck,

ANOTHER crazy thing (plural, given the group...)

Amazing work, man, and your crew for an authentic feat!

Just so you know, my son just got back from the GR R2—185 km (not running!)—self-supported over 11/12 days. You can read about it HERE:

Looking forward to reading your next post. Jean

Hi Jean, great to see you here! The GR R3 was awesome! The GR R2 is on the agenda for a future trip back to Réunion! I’ll go check it out… Thanks!

Gorgeous landscapes 😊 Congrats to Flo—despite her knee problem, she’s not giving up!👍

My little warrior! 😇 And she’ll be put to work very soon for our next adventure! We canceled a week of trekking in Switzerland last August so she could recover in time for this trip...
