Deep into the Amazon we will start with three days jungle survival before the actual race starts. I can only hope that in 11 months time I will be in a better shape then today. I have promised myself to never enter a race as unfit as I did for the Al Andalus Ultra Marathon.

Next year I have made a few improvements, some route changes (as I discover new paths) slightly shorter first stage but 'maybe' longer stage 4. New finishes, all campsite starts/finishes and mobile catering. Hope you can make it again, it is filling fast and new website isn't yet launched. Good luck with the rest of your year and your knees. Adios, Paul Hi Joakim,

Great to read your blog, and great to have met you on alandalú. Maybe we even meet again sometime in the future! Tomorrow I have another 50k, starting in Granada and finishing at the sumit of Pico Veleta (3400M), quite close to where we ran a couple of weeks ago, you would love it!! Best wishes, Mark. Hey!

Very true, even myself I smelled how bad it was towards the end of the week. Funny enough you only smelt of strawberries the whole week! Upwards and onwards Jack! I'll see if I can join you on some of those UK ultras in the autumn. Have a good weekend! /Joakim Ha ha ha Jack! Very true, even myself I smelled how bad it was towards the end of the week.
