Back on this fabulous adventure…
.
This Sunday, September 19,Pascal Capdevila-specialist in sandalsthe Altore Team- set a new benchmark time on the demanding Mare a Mare Center Corse course by taking the course record to 12 hours and 14 minutes
.
92 km of Corsican pebbles and 5000 meters of elevation gain… in sandals!
The Gypaete took off at 6:03 a.m. from the beach in the municipality of Serra-di-Fiumorbo, near Ghisonaccia on the east coast, to reach, just over 12 hours later, that of Porticcio on the south shore of the Gulf of 'Ajaccio, west coast.
.
And we can say that nothing was spared him throughout this long and trying day, so much the rain, the wind and the fog had made an appointment to spice up the adventure...
Weather conditions which in the end will never have had the skin of the unfailing motivation of Pascal, accompanied and supported in the effort by many athletes of the team, taking turns throughout the course.
A real teamwork as we like them at Altore: A close-knit team that reflects the soul of the brand. Performance and perseverance being qualifiers representing both the athlete and the brand.
