The Argentan race is known as a well-organized and friendly event and this year was no exception - from the Pasta Party on the Friday night through to the 'Nuit du Jogger' which went on until the early hours of Sunday morning.
Argentan 2001 was the club's first 'foreign' tour for 5 years and, although all 13 members of the party got together for the various marathon related events (Pasta Party, Race, Le Nuit du Jogger), we all 'did our own thing' either side of these.
Argentan was the only half marathon where I have finished feeling better than I started and this left me in excellent shape for the party afterwards.

 DECISION AT ARGENTAN
Meanwhile, the XV Corps was to advance through Alencon to the army group boundary just south of Argentan, a line drawn by Montgomery to separate the zones of operation of the American (12th Army Group) and the British-Canadian forces (21 Army Group).
