Today at 5 am team Calleva departed to Punta Arenas, Patagonia. I drove Mark, Sara, Val and Druce to the airport. It's me on the photo, staying on crutches in front of the guys. My big dream of the Patagonia Expedition Race is postponed by one year due to a knee injury. Fortunately, we had backups and the team is big and dynamic enough to deal with any troubles.I will keep the online coverage of the race from this blog. The website of the race is here. The race starts 8:00 am, February 10th.
Team Calleva is sponsored by Calleva Outdoor Adventure.

Dang, I didn't know your injury was that serious. Sorry to hear that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Dima! I just lucked into finding your blog via a google search. I haven't seen anything posted on the PER website and am anxiously awaiting any news about our team! Mark called today, just before they hopped on the bus to the race start, but I missed his call :( The course sounds great - kayak, 100K bike, trekking thru forests and bogs, bike, kayaking at some whale feeding grounds and a 75 mile trek (per Mark's message).
ReplyDeleteHe sounded excited, of course! I can't wait to see more info via your blog or the PER website. Take care - and sorry you're not there!
