François in China

I was just involved in a lengthy conversation online about who the GOATs in our sport are and that made me wonder what François D’Haene is up to. The answer:

Running your first 50K is always going to be an intimidating experience, but it’s a little easier when you’ve got an ultra-running legend for company. At the @tsaigu 50K in China’s Zhejiang Province, @francois_dhaene paced and supported Salomon China employee Fred through his first 50K.

Pacing at a 50K in China. Which is exactly what genuine nice guy like François would do, and probably also what his sponsor asks him to do, as China is becoming a huge market for Salomon.
