Sign-Up

A last minute decision but nevertheless a decision. After a crazy year, filled with health and life issues, I wasn’t planning to run another Ultra. I had applied for a race in Africa earlier in the year and was really excited about it but in the end it was already filled and the wait list got me nowhere. 

I took that as a sign for not engaging in any activity in 2019 until Manu Pastor’s message reached me. “When are you finally coming to run with me?” he asked and he was right. I met Manu in Bhutan, in 2016, he was the race director for another ultra. A great guy, with a terrific spirit. I promised him numerous times I would eventually join his race in Spain but so far never made it. 

Long story short, I signed up and here I am. He was right. Why not doing Burgos this year? It is a good time to refocus, and what is better for that than a long jog. So, here I am.
