Training Log Archive: NSW Stinger

Hi again,
the team is now prepared for tomorrow's race start in the gardens of the Estoril Casino. We had 3 days in Lisbon in nice apartment near Cais do Sodre station.

Event: Adventure Racing World Championship PORTUGAL 2009
 

Hello,
I’m again overseas with my Team Blackheart for the World Adventure Racing Championships in Portugal. We qualified for the championships by winning the XPD Australia race (the Australian qualifier) last November in the Snowy Mountains around Thredbo. The race involves 5-6 days of non-stop adventure over 920km of trekking, mountain biking, kayaking, inline skating and other sports. The race will be covered live over the internet with video footage and GPS tracking of each team. We are hoping to get some updates from the course on our website with the help of my parents who are over here supporting us.
