Whilst a 16k road run from the foot of the Eiffel Tower to Versailles with 25,000 other competitors, lined by heavily armed police might in hindsight not be a normal hill running challenge – there was in our defence the challenge of a rather hilly bit in-between (OK you might have needed 3rd gear if driving) and a too late evening in a left bank cafe to be overcome.
