THE AMERICAS HAVE BEEN RUN!
Hi everyone! Today I ran the last 24km in the Americas from Ushuaia to Lapataia National Park
And this is what I wrote that day over 2 years ago..
”And the run through the Americas all the way to Tierra del Fuego has finally begun! ”
Back here in Ushuaia It was a bit of a mental effort getting out onto the road today as I had focused so much over the last two years on finishing in Ushuaia!
Total to date: 25,143km for 596 road days, I think that’s almost exactly a marathon a day average. Of which the South American distance was: 10,742km in 276 road days
.
.
Then this man called Ramon and his wife Nathalia and family gave me a lift back to Ushuaia. You didnt expect me to run back!
And on the way we did some sightseeing.
While I almost fell asleep in the car!
