Subject: Two Days To Go

OK after a very long journey we´ve arrived at in San Pedro De Atacama. First obsevation was "it´s a little dry"...
Not too sure what else we were expecting. Its a very small town with not much more than dirt roads and rabid dogs...the four legged variety!!
On the flight in we were treated to a sneak preview of some of the terrain we´´ll be running on and it looks very bleak, yet it´ll will positivly be some of the best scenery we´ll ever experience. We were also delighted to see what positive PR the event is getting in the national papers. One such article, twice, singling out runners from the event including "a producer from MTV"!! Bast tried to share his new found fame with a Korean competitor he was sat next to on the plane, but he was having non of it, very difficult to impress a Korean you see!
We´re meeting so many different people, some with years and years of ultra marathon experience, Everest climbing tales, adventure racing stories...and there is us! Little to no experience and sporting the team name of Chile Gone Barmy..again the Koreans couldn´t find the humourous link between our name and a well know chiliean dish!!!
We´ve got a meeting tonight to compare sacs, so to speak, and try and slime down even further. Word on the street is that we´re looking at a 10 kg pack however we cut it!
We´ll update you later loads of love to all
TOM BERT & BAST
p.s. keep the messages coming as we´re loving them. George thanks for the advice, a 10 day race suits us just fine!!!
