Yes, my son
Patrick did it (again)! He finished the Paris Marathon yesterday.
There were
some 54.000 participants, some 40.000 arrived “in time”. Patrick made it and about
3h.40 on an about 10.000th place. Of course the winner, the Kenyan
Korir, did it in about 2h.05. A real challenge for next year!
I wasn’t
present at the departure on the Champs Elysées...
... but, with family, at the arrival Avenue Foch. We waited a bit...
... and then…
After
arrival there are refreshments, something to eat (and medical care if needed)... and Patrick even got a
massage!
He participated
in favour of the association “Laurette Fugain”, fighting against leukemia.

Joven de 43 anos! :-)
In Paraguay, the word joven=young man.
El joven Olson is how we would refer to him.
And yes...he's young...and beautiful...

Wonderful!!!
Many congratulations to Patrick ((hugs))
thanks for letting us know how he got on.
You must be very proud of Patrick! Completing a marathon is quite a feat!
De quoi être fier!
Bravo.
I'm a big sport photography fan, so enjoyed this immensely. Well done to your son too, for entering let alone finishing.
Félicitations à Patrick. Je dis qu'il faut le faire et quand on le fait pour une association comme celle de Laurette Fugain, c'est encore plus admirable.
Bravo à lui !
En plus, il fait la fierté de son Papa.
Well done, Patrick! And thanks for sharing this, Peter.
Congratulations to Patrick! And what a worthy cause to be running for -- the fight against leukemia.
Three cheers for Patrick! I think a marathon must be excruciating and so hard on the body and I really admire his training and strength/ability to do that run. And to do it for a cause like leukemia really warms my heart. It makes the race all the sweeter.
An impressive and very noble run! Congratulations to Patrick!
