Orléans - Océan day 2

Let's start with today's high points. No storms overnight; slightly cooler temperatures; another lovely scenic day of chateaux, sunflowers and vines; I managed to stay on the podium (barely!) with a slower but more sensible 4hr30mn first marathon; and we're staying at a very nice campsite with plentiful showers and toilets.

The low point: Claire was forced to abandon at the 30km mark today - urinary tract problems that started yesterday and became very painful for her today. Poor thing. Clara our cook checked that she has no fever, and has prescribed cranberry juice; Claire's hoping to rejoin the race in a couple of days, but we'll see.
