Has the race “24 hours of Champigneulles” (54) been a success for our visual deficient athletes of the Ultra-Fond?

This morning about 11 o'clock the organizers of “the Champigneulles Ultra-Fond” announced the end of the race by sounding a squib kick.
This first edition has kept all its promises. Indeed, bodied people roamed 214 Kms for men while the ladies, for the best of them, just over 182 Kms.
Let's go back to our athletes deprived of sight. Odile Hochard, already holder of the best world performance with a little more than169 Kms, took part in the event.
Around 11 o'clock, at the end of the event, she pushed her record, after a Dantesque start, at a little more than 172 Kms. During this time, the guy from Dijon, Jean Claude Perronnet, also embarrassed by the cloudbursts at the start of the race, ran a little more than 160 Kms during these 24 hours.
Welcome the new world performance of our friend Odile Hochard, and congratulate Jean Claude for this distance!
The next edition of Champigneulles will take place in 2018; hope that our friends Odile and Jean-Claude will be again at the start of the race to improve their personal performance.

The adventure is over, but is it really a failure for this paraplegic tenniswoman?

Emilie Chéné explains her challenge through this excerpt of her thank you letter :

Hi all,
The decision has been made, I won’t be part of the Rio French paraolympic team next September because I haven't been be able to be classified int the best 22 mondial players.
Seemingly, the objective is not reached but, actually, the objective was elsewhere. I learnt it during my adventure. Better than the goal, it’s the way you go through to reach it that matters.
This athletic pathway enables me to meet wonderful people who accompanied me, according to their means, envies and will. Thanks to you, this adventure was fascinating, living, wealthy.
I’d like to thank everybody with this short note even it seems ludicrous to express all my feelings with this few words,, my gratitude, my enthusiasm.
Short but precise and concise, straight to the point, so thank you all!
Now, I’m able to look ahead with many projects in mind. Surely, this human experience is gona stick with me and be part of my future life whatever I’ll try . Undoubtedly a matchless wealth!
I hope you are all in great shape. I wish you can surpass yourself with personal and professional challenges and become even greater whaterver the outcomes. To quote Winston Churchill: The success is to be able to go from failure to failure without loosing his enthusiasm.
Thanks, many thanks to all.
Emilie
