After nearly 4 weeks on the road, here I am now in Spain. I arrived into Madrid yesterday and met up Team Cyanosis, a great crew from South Africa that I had raced with 2 years ago down at The Bull of Africa. We have joined forces to tackle the race course here in Europe. This will be my last race of 2010 before I return home and continue working on "Project X".
I'm feeling surprisingly well. After 2 major races in a row with only 4 days off to recover in between, I'm holding up. Achilles is feeling the best it has in 1.5 years. Despite some heavy eyelids, I think I will be ok here on the race course. Today we spent the morning doing gear checks and rope work. Saturday evening the maps will be given out and at which point we will begin to pack gear bins and organize. The race starts on Sunday morning 8am in the town center.
Being that this is the world adventure racing championships, I expect the coverage to be quite good. Here are a few sites to look at for live coverage:
