After Gobi in 2013, we couldn't resist for Jordan 2015. Gobi was very nice, but the pictures in Jordan looks awesome. We promised to each other after Gobi race to buried our pack sack .... But after 12 months we changed our mind and we dug in our backyard to find them and we are ready to start training. It is a good thing when you are getting old....we forget. We forgot how tough Gobi was. However for this one, our Captain of No country for three old men, was not able to make it. Impossible to fit Jordan , in his busy schedule , ( Polar Bear Marathon, Idaho, etc. etc. ). Also he already ran , Le marathon des Sables....apparently he hasn't forgot the pain in the sand and in the sun. It will be me and Serge Gosselin ( famous singer and dancer ) Can't wait.

My heart isn't buried at Wounded Knee and I will be starting at Atacama on October. Too many races and not enough vacation time is the issue. I am getting old but I never forget. I am and old monkey but I am still learning new tricks. Good luck to you guys, your soul will be elsewhere for this one! But I will feel your pain from a distance and will follow your steps on a daily basis.

And we are so glad that you were able to find your backpacks in your backyard and come back. You don't look like "old men" when you're on the course.
