I participated in the first edition of the
Marathon des Alpes Maritimes Nice - Cannes. This is a most
extraordinarycourse which runs always (with the exception of Nice Airport)
along the sea. The race took place on a beautful day with blue skies and
even bluer water with very pleasant 18 degreees. |
