17 de abril de 2017 edsonsp Deixar um comentário

INFO DE PROVA

A opção pelo mês de Julho prende-se com as nossas inspirações. Para estarmos no patamar de uma das provas mais extremas do mundo, precisamos de um factor externo bastante importante: o calor. Na Badwater o calor atinge facilmente os 60º no Californiano Vale da Morte. Na BR135+ as temperaturas podem a qualquer momento ter uma percentagem de humidade no ar de 95%. Na PT281+ ficaremos entre as duas.

Durante o mês de Julho, nos locais de passagem da prova, os termómetros passam facilmente dos 40º, além de ser um calor seco, sufocante, ardente. Este é um factor que facilmente coloca a PT281+ num patamar de dificuldade extrema.

PERCURSO

O percurso é feito de forma contínua, com partida de Belmonte e passagens por Sabugal, Sortelha, Penamacor, Serra de Malcata, Monsanto, Idanha-a-Nova, Tejo internacional, Vila Velha de Ródão e com final em Proença-a-Nova.

É feito em regime de semi auto-suficiência, ou seja, apesar de ser um percurso contínuo, com um tempo limite de conclusão, os participantes encontrarão ao longo do percurso vários Postos de Controlo, onde poderão descansar e reabastecer as suas forças.

A Few Degrees from Hell: White Hot Tales from the Badwater Ultramarathon

The Badwater Ultra-marathon is commonly referred to as the toughest footrace on the planet. In 2003, defending champion Pam Reed, Dean Karnazes and 71 other runners took the ultimate challenge of running 135 miles in California from Badwater to the portals of Mount Whitney. Their journey would take them through the hostile environment of Death Valley and subject them to temperatures ranking among the highest ever recorded on earth.

Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery

David Clark went from the rock bottom of bankruptcy, addiction and obesity to becoming an accomplished athlete. In this compelling story of his life, he not only shares his journey with complete honesty, but he also lays out a blueprint for change that anyone can use to to redefine what is possible. – Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery is the story of a man who never had a chance to find out who he was. Growing up in the hardest of circumstances, poor, homeless and traveling the country in his father’s pickup truck, David Clark was no stranger to the hard knocks of life. Yet, without the benefit of any formal education in his early years, he lifted himself all the way up to owning a chain of 13 retail stores by the time he was 29 years old—only to lose it all to addiction, poor choices, and tough economic breaks.
