Gobi March (2026) blog posts from Claire MICHELETTI

Testing the blog function.

I cannot believe it's 12 days to go. I am sitting at work with my business partner Caroline in front of me. At my side is my 9kg (test) backpack, I will go for a training run in a few hours to see how my shoulders are faring today.

I wish I still had a few more week up my sleeves as I'm feeling underprepared. Are my nerves taking over? Probably.

I can't wait to get on that place and finally meet the other competitors, it's been great having some chatter already. 

Mongolia beckons. A country that has been on my dream list for many years for multiple reasons (the scenery, biodiversity, culture etc.).

But for now, back to work and try stay focused.

The adventure is not far away.

Claire -- I am sure you are ready. Just 12 days -- YIKES! Mongolia will not disappoint. The country is everything you ever dreamed of, once you get into the country side. Ulaanbaatar is a fairly chaotic, post Soviet Union urban metropolis with subtle charm. I look forward to meeting you. Mary
