Mathieu Blanchard who has the dual citizenship of France and Canada, arrived at the Faro finish line 13:28. That means he is our winner in the 600 km race in the foot category and 2nd overall (after fatbiker Harm Feringa).
He said several times during the race and also at the finish line that “this was the hardest thing I have ever done” and looking at his relief, he was not exaggerating. It was a truly emotional moment and a great arrival at the finish line as not only crew but also many locals and all the school children came out to greet him.
Congratulations Mathieu!
