I am often asked how I can maintain the motivation to train almost daily for so many years; and I answer that I never train, but I enjoy and I am happy every second that I do sports and, as a consequence, I train.
I finished the Kalahari Augrabies Extreme Marathon. After 250 in self-sufficiency for 6 stages (7 days), I was able to finish this tough race in the 10th position and 1st +50 (those over 50).
Today I have done "THE STAGE": after the rest day, I left in eleventh position and I have the 9th and 10th to 15 minutes, this meant the last chance to be in the Top 10: Today it was not easy, they announced high temperatures and the distance was long but I found myself in good shape and wanted to try it!
Today wonderful stage: has not been too hot and everything has gone perfect, despite being the longest of the entire Marathon. I hydrated very well, I ate at each control and I was able to run without running out of energy during 90% of the stage.
Today I decided to make my own race, forgetting my colleagues, listening to my body, hydrating much more, eating more at the CP and looking for a balanced rhythm, preparing tomorrow's stage.
Today's stage has been tough, not so much by distance, but by a combination of very complicated terrain: sand and stones and very high temperatures between 43º and 47º.
