The program for the Ice Care Kilimanjaro 2009 Expedition is set: it will take place from the 4th to the 15th of December and it includes 3 days with a Maasai tribe in the Amboseli reserve (Kenia), to interact with those people, learn from them and explain them what is going on, plus a 6 days ascent to the mount Kilimanjaro summit (Tanzania), to measure the glacier.You are welcome to join our team on this trip, by choosing one of two options: Maasai + jeep safari trip; or Maasai + Kilimanjaro trip (if you have some mountain experience and are medium/well fit). If you are interested, please contact our partner agency, Papa-Léguas – see more at: http://www.papa-leguas.com/index.cfm?sec=0101000000&ViagemID=136 (for details see: http://www.papa-leguas.com/print.cfm?ViagemID=136)
Meanwhile, as for the physical training, the participation on a 900 km adventure race – 7 days non stop (including 50 km kayak or a mountain bike stage of 160 km with 8.000 meters
accumulated ascent !!!) – should be more than enough (if it doesn’t kill me) ! It’s the Portugal XPD 2009, the toughest and final race of the 'Adventure Race World Championship', and it will take place between Cascais and Serra da Estrela, from the 8th to the 14th of November (more at http://www.arwc2009.com/). The best teams of the World will be present. My team is ADADesnivel, and we just want to to arrive at the finish line and be able to feel it …
