Councils of the organizer:
To have realized him(it) first time in solo May, 2000, I think that the Raid Montpellier-Valencia, requires a good management of the efforts.
Do not leave too fast and hydrate regularly. The journey(running) is long, not to hesitate to alternate journey(running) and walks(works).
