Back Running!
Posted 21/9/12 From Quilino, Cordoba.
Hi All,
In Quilino, Cordoba province, North Argentina. Been running a week now. I notice the difference in the month off that I had. The southern hemisphere just has two seasons, winter and summer. We are heading for summer now. I was told that in January the stretch I have just run would be 50c. That would have surely been tough, am sure I would have run it at night.
Its now around 32/35c at its peak and I am having some tough days and a couple of delightful cool days, so it’s just a case of keep chipping away at it.
The totalizer to date reads. 21,682km for 520 road days.
This is by way of just a quick update. I did not include today’s tough 28km as earlier I made it to a wifi restaurant called La Posta in this junction town called Quilino.
I am considering running tonight as it’s safe here, but will see. If this restaurant is open all night then perhaps I will work all through the night and then run tomorrow and back into the heat, I will see.
Further south, perhaps as early as next week I expect the heat will ease off as I run south of Cordoba city.
In a few weeks time as I approach Patagonia which is noted more for its fierce winds than excessive heat!
You can see on the map of Argentina that once I get south of Cordoba city that thankfully the roads are pretty much straight and directly south, so not much time lost as I have in the last year in switch-back routes and the like.
