Hola a todos,
Yesterday we started at 07:40 and arrived 76 long kilometers later at about at 01:40 in the morning.
I kind of collapsed at about 300 meters before the finnish line, so I did hide behind a corner to recover and made sure nobody would take me out of the race.
Today we have to run the last 10K into San Pedro. Don t know how, you would understand if you would be able to see my feet.
Anyway, the last couple of days I tried to keep you updated a bit, but only today I read the messages today, must be also the fatigue, but this is becoming way to emotional.
Guille, casi la tenemos en la mano!
Un beso
Bert

Stage 5: Competitors are setting out in three intervals this morning, 7:30, 8:30 and 10:30 am.
The stage is roughly 75 kilometers and most competitors will finish late into the night. The first 45 kilometers are the most arduous.
If competitors make it through today, they will only have a short 10 kilometers into the finish line in the Town Square of San Pedro de Atacama tomorrow. |

Stage 4: There are only a handful of competitors remaining on the course.
Recent arrivals include: Linda Quirk of the United States, Marilena Wilkinson of Venezuela, Lucy Rivers-Bulkeley of the United Kingdom, Maya Restis of the United States, Billy Restis of the United States, Kristina Narusk of Estonia, Keir Oxley of Australia, Janelle Pham of the United States and Chizuko Kida of Japan.
The campsite has been blanketed by fierce winds. Many in the middle of the pack suffered mightily during the salt flats, but those at the front and the end of the pack seemed to handle the terrain and heat better. The final competitors are expected to cross the finish line of Stage 4 shortly. |
