Hello from Portugal!Team Blackheart is back on the road again at the Adventure Racing World Championships, this year being organised by Portugal XPD. We qualified for the championships by winning the XPD Australia race (the Australian qualifier) last November in the Snowy Mountains around Thredbo.Its been a very long wait, but the race is nearly here.
We arrived in Lisbon yesterday after a long Melbourne-Sydney-Singapore-London flight schedule and have spent the last day or so doing a bit of sight-seeing and resting up. On Thursday we will head to Estoril, about 1hr west of Lisbon, to the event centre. On Saturday we have race accreditation and competencies and receive the course during the event. The race starts at 10am Sunday local time- which is 9pm AEST.
The race involves 5-6 days of non-stop adventure with over 920km of trekking, mountain biking, kayaking, inline skating and other sports. Live reports and GPS tracking of the teams will be shown on the event website http://www.arwc2009.com/en/
