Namibia 24h Ultra marathon – here I come

Posted on 11 May 2010

I am about to get on the plane to Namibia again. After a few days acclimatisation it will be time to step up to the start line of the 3rd Namibian 24h Ultra Marathon. I hope that some 20h-24h later I will be as happy as on the photo above again.

Namibia 1 – Joakim 1
This will be my third year in the race. I made it in 2008 and in 2009 I collapsed after about 61km. That makes the score 1-1 and I do not intend to slip behind.

The race starts on the 27 May. I know in the past I have really appreciated your thoughts and cheers for lifting my spirits when the times are dark and just to take a single more step feels a like climbing a mountain.

So if you have a few words to spare, please sign-in and leave them below, or send me an email.

I have a score to settle with this race, and I intend to be there on the finish line on the 28 May, in one piece and I hope to have a similar smile on my face again.

    Good luck Joakim. I've a feeling this is your year. If you do well does this mean that you are now at one with the desert?
