Exactly 6 short months separate me from a new personal Quest: ATACAMA CROSSING - Chile 07/03/2010  The Atacama Crossing 2010 is a 6 stages and 250 km long race on an altitude between 1600 and 2400 meters above sea level. Competitors must carry their own equipment and food for the whole race. (at least 2000 calories per day). They are only provided with water and a place in a tent each night but are supported by professional medical and operations teams. Although I have travelled long distances with heavy backpacks and pulkas before, I have never run a marathon, not even shorter distance races. It will definitely be a challenge for both body and mind! The other competitors will be no ‘competition’, but rather a source of inspiration for my personal quest: finishing this emblematic Atacama desert ultra-race save and sound. From today, September the 7th on, I invite you to join me, preparing for and taking part in this epic race. Through my expedition blog, I will share with you the experiences leading me to the starting point in Atacama, Chile. If, by taking part in this race, I can capture your attention and imagination, I humbly ask you to also have a look at www.zeepreventorium.be. With this personal physical challenge I hope to inspire the kids, staying at the Zeepreventorium. At their turn they are my personal motivation! If you also feel like motivating me, please send them your donation. Hasta Pronto! Bert Your donation is Bert's motivation! |
