safari, on foot, across 250 km of solitary, but
fabulously beautiful ,asture , canyons and
desert, in a race of marathons held over six
days. Not at all sensible at my age, that's the
beauty of it ... |

| Previous Races: |
No prior form - how ridulous is this, 'at my age, in my condition' .... that being the general consensus from the supportive people in my life. That also, is part of the beauty of it - for once, out of stereotype .... |
