Accidents happen...

...particularly during the Jungle Marathon, which is clearly an acccident machine.
First stage two commas were resolved, from four evacuations....a few hours ago we had a car crashing, photos may think it was bad but the truth is that no serious injure came out of that.

Today 's stage is the longest one and more people may come to bite the dust!

Danny is done it!!

The Regional Hospital in Santarem, is one of the most modern hospital in the country. Unfortunatly, when we evacuated the athlets over to Santarem it was on strike. The good news is that Dr. Antonio and his great team of nurses at the Municipal Hospital was able to help and yesterday one of our mates left the hospital and only one of them is still in the intensive care. This npix was taken yesterday at about 3pm. When he finally could communicate. Shortly after that all tubes had been removed, except for the Oxygen mask. Late in the aftyernoon he wanted to go to the loo alone, of course the nurses did not allowed it.

He may leave the I.C.U. late today. Meanwhile Ryan and Sal lead the race.

He is from South Africa and has lost none but one competition. It was the Namibia Desert Marathon. The winner was Salvador(about 43 y.old) from Spain, who is also coming to run Jungle Marathon this year.

Good luck dudes!!



He will have to beat Salvador from Spain.
