Jacob,

Congratulations on making it this far and hope you’re enjoying it! I’m sure you’re chatting nonsense and singing football chants at people all day. Definitely will need to be a big group trip to Rudy’s after you’re back to hear all about it :)

Hi Thomas,

I've been keeping up to date with the daily blogs. What an adventure! We're all thinking of you back at Grangemouth. Last big push today. You've got this! You're doing amazing. Looking forward to hearing all about it when you return.

Hi IN NAM '24 Team. Congratulations on completing IN NAM! This is an incredible accomplishment and you should all be incredibly proud. The photos have looked great and the blogs have sounded even better. Can't wait to hear about it all when you get back!

Well done to all of you!

Reed
Amazing what you and your teammates have accomplished so far. I am sure today will be another tough run but I have no doubt you all will feel so accomplished at the end of the day. The climb must have been incredible but no snake for me!
Excited to hear about today and to see more pictures.
Cheering you on and sending energizing thoughts from afar!
Love you💙🏃‍♂️🚴 Mom

I'm having such a good time… »
On oublie les douleurs, on rigole un bon coup et on repart. Bon courage les moustachus ou pas.

Hey Thomas

Loving keeping up to date with your progress through the Daily Blog - all from the comfort of my desk with a cool can of Irn Bru and a roll from the canteen. Sounds like some slog - for you, not me ofcourse :-) We're all super proud of you and cant wait to hear all about it over a roll on haggis when you're back. Enjoy the last day and see you soon X

Cher Chris, Isaure était ravie de voir une photo de toi et d'avoir de tes nouvelles (et moi aussi, au passage). Ça a l’air beau et chouette et vous semblez former une super team ! Aujourd’hui est une journée intense (comme si elles ne l’étaient pas toutes), alors on pense encore un peu plus à toi. Courage (inutile comme message sachant qu’on te le lira quand tu auras déjà fait tout le boulot). Mais sache que je t’encourage à fond derrière mon ordi. Hâte de lire le récit de vos aventures.
Isaure adore jouer avec « les garçons » qu’elle suit partout. Elle est super heureuse, et ne lâche plus les bottes de Lili (taille 30) (et oui, parce qu’il pleut tout le temps, prépare toi au choc thermique).
Profite de ces derniers jours, malgré la fatigue. On se retrouve bientôt, on compte les jours 😊 Bisous chouchou, love

Hey Tam (Thomas in Scottish)
Catching up on the blog, you guys are doing fantastic, sounds like you's are smashing it against all the odds (sand, heat and Leopards !!!).
Looking forward to hearing all about it on your return. A typical scottish welcome will await you in the office in style of Haggis roll (once I catch the haggis) and a can of Irn-bru.
take care
Zhenei
Who you are tomorrow begins with what you do Today (Tim Fargo)

Hi Thomas,

What an experience!
From the photos it looks like you are having the best time, and smashing every day.
Can't wait to hear all about it when you are back.

From your proud poddie!

Salut Constance et aux autres "chanceux"!!

J'espère que tu profites à fond, vu ta super préparation je n'en doute pas ;O)
Aujourd'hui marathon et VTT si j'ai bien suivi: très beau challenge et le tout avec le sourire comme d'habitude.

Hâte d'avoir le debrief. Bon retour sur terre et à bientôt.

Keep going Thomas (Tam) - you've got this in the bag! Hope you're having an amazing time, not too long to go.

Cheers, John

Hi Thomas,

This experience looks incredible!
Well done so far - we are all rooting for you back in the office!

Can't wait to hear all the stories!

Lisa

Hi Alexis,

All the INEOS Inovyn RTE team is rooting for you !
Good luck in this last push, you can do it, we believe in you !

Hello Constance,
I am very proud of you. I hope your body battery is still alive :)
I know you are a warrior and I send you all the courage I can. I believe in you !
Take care of you :)

Wow - congratulations to you all and so proud of the group for supporting each other to accomplish the Brandberg!!

And a special shout out to the US team - we are cheering you on Meaghan, Fernando, Daniela, Darrin, Reed, and Chris!

Daniela,
Dios te bendiga 🙏❤️Day 5 done ✔️👏👏👏👏what an inspiring and incredible journey this In-NAM 24 is. You are part of the few!!! One more day mami, almost there. Remember you carry within you the strength of a thousand warriors. What an honor it is that you call me “ mami”. I can’t wait to hear your voice. Te amamos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Inspiring effort from everyone - enjoy the second half of your big adventure.

Jacob,
Continue smashing it and keep smiling - there will be many cakes in the office waiting for you! You got this :)

Daniela,
I know you're doing amazing out there! Just one more day! Cleo's so proud of her mommy! We miss you! Can't wait to see you this weekend. Love you! :o)

Darrin,
You are killing it. Sending big hugs and many happy thoughts. Hang tight for a little while longer.
Love you!
Grandma

Brilliant photos and amazing effort. Well done Team In-Nam 2024!

y llegó ese momento que parecía tan lejano... los dias de broncearse en Namibia van llegando a su final... 😎🙈
la buena noticia es que te quedas con amistad, los aprendizajes, las reflexiones, las lecciones, las anécdotas y las ganas de seguir expandiendo tus límites💪😊
Mañana te estaremos acompañando de corazón hasta el último tramo💗recuerda sonreír para le foto al llegar a la meta🏁 y que célebres con una merecida cerveza bien fría!🍻
ya tenemos muchas ganas de volver a verte y que nos cuentes cada detalle de esa gran aventura!!

Fernando & Meaghan,

Ya'll are killing it out there. We had no doubts though. If you can survive being an Olefins Maintenance Engineer in Chocolate Bayou, you can thrive in the Namib Desert. If anything, ya'll are on a well deserved vacation. Keep crushing it out there.

Leah te extraña y dice que va a correr contigo en África así que inspirada en eso te envía dos párrafos para acompañarte de alguna manera y enviarte muchas energias para darlo todo hasta el final..

Walking through the desert and what did I see? to my daddy giving his best in the Namibia challenge!🚵‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏜

papá dedo papá dedo donde estás? en Namibia ..en Namibia ..en Namibia!👐

Thomas,
almost done.
Keep going.
Hard work pays off.
🥰

Nos alegra saber que ya has logrado llegar hasta este punto... dos días mas y habras conquistado este reto!✌️
Una frase de uno de tus libros favoritos dice:
"There is one rule, above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet."
así que sigue corriendo🏃‍♂️, caminando🚶‍♂️ y pedaleando🚵‍♂️ con mucho ánimo que si se pudo! 🤗

PS:nos dió mucha alegría verte sonriendo en la cumbre!😎🇨🇴

Cher Chris j espère que la lumière dans ce pays mystérieux est porteuse de forces et de beauté , keep on doing 👍tu y es presque arrivé

Great job so far US grads (and everyone else)!! Very impressed and can't wait to hear stories when everyone is back!

Fernando, Meaghan, Daniela,

You three are truly inspiring! I am so glad I was able to watch you train over the last year for this amazing journey. Keep reaching for the stars but save some energy for the Tour De France challenge!

One more thing, I should warn you that most of the PSSR post start up action items are being assigned to you guys!

IN NAM '24, you guys are just built different. I am sitting here in shock at your modified Brandberg itinerary - hoping each of you realize there's literally nothing you can't do for the rest of your lives. Keep this strength with you always.
Y'alls biggest fan (you know who you are),
Anupriya

Hallo Nico, spannende, herausfordernde Tage mit einzigartigen Erlebnissen und wohl auch Grenzerfahrungen, eine tolle Leistung!
DIR und EUCH gutes Gelingen auch für die letzten Tage. Genießen und kämpfen, du schaffst das!

Die Frechener

Hi Angela,

ich hoffe du genießt die grandiose Natur + Verpflegung und die alten Knochen halten! Weiterhin viel Erfolg und Vollgas beim Laufen und Radfahren!

Marvin

Congratulations everyone on completing the Brandberg! You're certainly aching in ways you didn't know was possible but you're well over halfway through now, so keep at it!
Tomorrow will be another challenge for sure but just remember to pace yourselves, live in the moment and enjoy it as much as you can.
A special shoutout to our resident Luton "Hatter", we know you're smashing it, Jacob - we're all rooting for you!
All the best from Ben and the Runcorn family

Good Afternoon Reed
By now,you should be halfway down the mountain or maybe finished! You are halfway finished with this amazing adventure. Sending positive thoughts and energy your way to finish strong! I cannot wait to hear your stories and yes, I have a few inquisitive questions for you.
Stay strong and know that I am cheering you on from home.. Love you! Mom

Très dur, je n'en doute pas ... Super chaud , indéniablement ... plus de mon âge tout ça :D
Mais au moins vous avez du soleil ... Ici il pleut, il pleut, il pleut,il pleut... Courage à tous et en particulier à Wim et Christophe

Congrats to all for making it this far!
I hope you enjoyed the Brandberg, the mountain top picnic and sleepover and especially the stunning views up and downhill.
We are all thinking of you from grey and rainy Europe and I personally am quite jealous of the heat!
Recover well tonight and all spirits high for the marathon tomorrow - it is a very beautiful run and last year most of us actually enjoyed it.

Go go go
Camilla

Wim, Christophe,

I am sure you are having a great time experiencing this challenge! Keep the motivation and spirit up. We are waiting for you to tell your stories when you will be back in NOH. Don't forget to bring some sunshine back with you as it is awful here.

See you soon :-)

Eléonore

Grit your teeth gang, and rigorously keep on slogging. With a few jokes along the way.
That's what makes INEOS great!

Viel Erfolg weiterhin bei der Challenge, Angela! Jetzt wo der Berg geschafft ist, ist der anstrengendste Teil hoffentlich überstanden!
Wir denken an dich und senden dir Kraft für weiteren Tage!

Congratulations to everyone on making it down the mountain! You may not be loving the Brandberg right now, but I promise you will later look back at what you just accomplished with a sense of disbelief. And, hopefully the night sky made up for the uncomfortable rock campsite. You're more than halfway done, so enjoy tomorrow's 42km tour around the desert and then the rollercoaster of a downhill ride knowing that if you have made it this far, the rest only gets better and better.

Shout out to my (prior) BMC folks Darrin and Meaghan

Meaghan,
Your mother and I hope that you and the rest of the INEOS team are all doing well on the challenge. We can’t wait to hear about all the details of your experiences there and are very proud of you. Hopefully all of that training is paying off for all of you! Good luck with the remaining events and stay strong and be safe! Love you

John & Bernadette Bryan

Meaghan and Daniela,

We know you smashed it going up and down the Brandberg.

Next up, PR for your desert marathon?!

Couldnt ask for a better duo to represent U.S. INNAM Women.

Keep up the great work. Stay relaxed, peace yourselves, and stop to take on the view. Sounds like you are crushing it so far! Half way there - you got this 💪🏼

Keep it up Daniela, Fernando, Meaghan, Darrin, Reed, and Chris - we are proud of you! Let's goooo!!

For Constance,
Coucou Coco!
On te souhaite une très belle aventure. On sait que ça sera un peu plus difficile que coaching à JO mais t’inquiète pas tu vas le gérer !
Gros bisous
Marielle et PJ

Constance,
Hâte d'avoir de tes nouvelles, ma fille chérie.
Vous avez heureusement un grand soutien logistique, mais vous accomplissez personnellement quelque chose de très exigeant, j'espère que tu vas bien.
Je pense beaucoup à toi et t'embrasse

Thomas

Hace unos años estabas ascendiendo y acampando en la Limburg y hoy escalaste y dormiras bajo el cielo estrellado de la Brandberg... admirable! mira que lejos has llegado.👏👏
tu entrenamiento no empezó hace un año, parece que la vida misma te ha estado entrenando para este épico momento! descansa y sigue adelante sabemos que lo estás haciendo excelente!💯

Te amamos y te seguimos acompañando desde la distancia!✌️😼❤

PS1: si te lo preguntabas la respuesta es: SÍ. Ser el caballito de Leah también cuenta como entrenamiento! 👧🦄
PS2: disfruta estar mas cerca de las estrellas y mañana con confianza pero con cautela en el descenso! 🧗😉

Hi Pavel, hope you're enjoying the challenge so far. Loved seeing you in the photos. Looking forward to hearing of the teams adventures scaling the mountain and then coming back down. Good luck to everyone for the rest of the challenge.
Andrena :)

Ola dear Christophe , thinking of you on the top of your mountain. Enjoy

Dear Constance, I'm sure this third day has gone well and that you are loving your adventure.
Here the ham is fine, the bathroom is almost finished (ie the bathroom is empty, wet and looks like it’s coming from a horror movie).
I've made a few changes to the plan of the house to suit me more (no, no, I didn't take advantage of your absence at all - on mettra du carrelage orange écarlate pour info, la commande est passée tkt) and since absentees are always wrong (pas sur de cette expression en anglais mais soit), you'll have to abide by my decisions mouahaha.
Kisskissbangbang and I hope you don't have too much sand in your shoes!
☁️☁️☁️

IN’NAM 24 cohort!

Congratulations on completing the first few days of this amazing challenge. A special shout out to Thomas and Pavel representing team Grangemouth. Conditions so far sound tough in the heat – hopefully a few post-cycle Tafels are helping out. I bet all the training you done through a Scottish winter doesn’t seem all that bad now!

Good luck for the coming days and enjoy every minute of it. Shoulders back and smash it everyone!

Hi Pavel,

Hope you are having a brilliant time in Nam. It sounds like a tricky start but we're sure you are smashing it. A nice wee beer in the evenings will be well earned.

Hi Jacob, go for it! More easy than the ADD case!

The Brandberg mountain days were my favourite and I would love to go back! Massive congratulations to all of you for making it to this point...and a special shout-out to Christophe and Wim, I am rooting for you from Rolle and thought of you during my run today. Let's go guys, stay strong and take it all in!!

Good luck to everyone for this challenge. Stay strong and enjoy!

Daniela,
You made it to the top! I'm proud of you! You did it! Hope you're having a blast out there. You got this! Love you!

Dear Thomi,
We hope you have an amazing time in Namibia pushing boundaries and enjoying this special experience.
We are sending you happy thoughts, strengths and good vibes. We are very proud of you for always challenging yourself. We hope that you and everyone on this trip will have great memories and enjoy this unique trip.

Cheering for you and sending you hugs from Norway,
Clara and Anders Jakob

Constance,
Please be careful as in this kind of physical activites low back pains can occur !
Also good luck to everyone and have fun

Dear Constance,

Congrats on these three first days ! It’s a crazy challenge but I’m sure you are doing great !
I wish you to keep being strong, tu put on sunscreen and drink water as much as needed.
Enjoy this week with all your team and come back with great memories.
Love you from a rainy France,

Blandine

The Addyston site is sending our energy your way for today's challenge. Reed and Chris, you got this! Be safe and enjoy the experience.

Tu peux être fier de toi Chrichri ! 😎 au moins autant que nous sommes fières et admiratives ! J’imagine que certains moments sont (très) durs; mais je ne doute pas de ta volonté et de tes capacités. Allez allez 💪🏻 tu vas y arriver ! Courage !!!
On pense vraiment beaucoup à toi, et j’attends le récit de vos aventures et les photos chaque jour avec impatience. J’ai vraiment hâte que tu nous racontes. Et j’espère que tu en profites à fond.
Ici on va bien, mais tu nous manques beaucoup. Isaure parle beaucoup de toi aujourd’hui, elle est d’ailleurs à côté de moi, (comme ça tu as son message en direct 😉) « moi aussi j’aime mon papa ».
On t’embrasse très fort ! 🥰
Ps: Si j’ai bien compris, c’est ce soir la nuit à la belle étoile, profites en bien !!! je pense que ce sera superbe 🤩

Daniela,
Día 3 espero disfrutes la vista desde la cima de la montaña. Dios te bendiga y llene de fortaleza física y mental. Pensando en ti todo el tiempo. Ojalá pueda verte en una fotografía hoy. Te abrazo y te envío buena energía. Recuerda sonreír y disfrutar la experiencia. Te amamos profundamente! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm sure you're smashing it!! Have an amazing time and see you when you you're back in the smoke.
Best
Sonia

Dearest Robin,

The report from the first two days indicates that it’s quite challenging, which I expected given the nature of your adventure. It sounds like you are pushing yourself to new limits and experiencing something truly unique. Remember, opportunities like this don’t come around often, so make sure to enjoy every moment to the fullest. Embrace the highs and the lows, as these experiences will become cherished memories. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, so keep strong and keep pushing forward.

Also, please remember there is no such thing as too much sunscreen

Take care and enjoy every second!

Love,
Marie

Hello Jacob,
Good luck and have an amazing time! Kick the climb and we will have some sweet goodies waiting in the office for your return. Tracey

Coucou Christophe, allez allez des 🦵 jambes et bon morale c'est la réussite. Admire aussi la beauté des paysages sûrement sublime.
Bon courage et plein d'énergie. Bisous.
Annick Sch

Dear Jacob,

I hope you are having an amazing time and you conquered the Brandberg without any issues. Enjoy the experience and the last few days. Make sure you get some Strava stats as Ben R has been saying he is sure he could run a faster marathon than you.
All the best, Sam

Good luck to all the Belgium Grads. Alexis, Wim, Thor, Robin, Christophe and Alessandro. Enjoy the Brandberg climb and the crazy views. I hope the mice didn't eat anyone in the night. You should be down off the mountain when you read these messages and only two easy days to go. Keep up the great work.
Sam

Hey Jacob, enjoy the experience! But try to come back quickly, or your deskmate will get depressed and eat all the sweet treats

À C. La potagère,
N’oublie pas de profiter d’être sur place pour parfaire ton bronzage, tu as le visage pâle.
Forzaaa!

Courage pour ce super challenge!

Greetings Reed!
Well day 2 behind you and tomorrow you trek up the Brandberg. Sending lots of positive energy your way as I get tired thinking about that climb
No worries though,I know you will do great! Happy to see your smiling face in the picture today
Your perseverance makes me so very proud of you.
Stay safe and know I am sending much love to you!
Love…. Mom💙 🏃‍♂️⛰️🚵

Congrats on another successful day for the team. Darrin, If I was allowed to join you for a day, day 3 would be it!! Enjoy your climb up the mountain and the sights you will see.

Howdy from Texas and woo hoo, yall have made it to the Brandberg! Enjoy the journey, you will come down a different person than you were when you left.

Shout out to the best support team. Cycletec/Pat/Lloyd/Phil/Jane - I will forever cherish the memories of y’all at the “back of the pack” with me, but I know yall are thoroughly impressed with this years grads! And good luck keeping up with Chris R.
Can’t wait to hear of everyone’s success.

Yes you Can Christophe, believe in your capacities, you be already done so much
There will be an happy end , keep on and try to sleep well tonight to be fit and well tomorrow.

Hi Namibia Team,

After having a rather warm welcome to Namibia yesterday, today you have arrived at the Brandberg. Remember, the part you can see from camp is only the beginning of the climb!
However, you will have conquered the mountain tomorrow by noon and with it the first half of the challenge. Remember to enjoy the challenge while you can, it passes far quicker than you realize!

Special greetings to my German colleagues: Johannes, Agnes and Nico

All the hard work payed off and I am positive that you are having a blast in Namibia. I hope the bikes in Namibia are matching the trails better than they did on our weekender. :)

I am looking forward to hearing your stories when you come back.

Also greetings to the amazing Namibia Team: Phill, Jane, Pat, Lloyd and Dieter. Last years grads still have good memories with all of you!

Daniela mi amor!!!!
Bravo! Felicitaciones me encantó verte sonreír en la foto donde están bajo la carpa disfrutando después de completar el desafío del dia 1. Sigue así…. Y cuando la fatiga llegue, recuerda que tú puedes, tú puedes, eres una mujer muy fuerte y determinada. Se feliz, es la clave, sigue sonriendo, sigue luchando, esta semana será inolvidable. Una semana que te recordará quien eres. Papi y mami contigo siempre. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thomas

cuando regreses nos tienes que contar como se siente estar en la cima😌⛰️
mucha fortaleza para mañana y te enviamos montones de besos y abrazos!
PS:Leah dice que para recargarte en los momentos duros recuerdes las veces que entrenaron juntos🤸‍♂️🤸‍♀️

🎼🎵🎶 So she said, "What's the problem, baby?"
What's the problem? I don't know
Well, maybe I'm in love (love)💕
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it
How much longer will it take to cure this?
Just to cure it 'cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)💗
Makes me wanna turn around and face me
But I don't know nothing 'bout love, oh
Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Because everybody's after love...🎵🎶🎶

🎊.FELIZ ANIVERSARIO MI AMADO COATÍ!!!🎉💃🥂🍾
Mir zwoi send wie Lense ond Schpätzla❤️‍🔥
Ich liebe dich!💘

PS1: Leah esta encantada (y yo también 😍) con la caja sorpresa que le dejaste pero esta feliz de compartirla!😋
PS2: Aquí ha estado lloviendo montones así que este año el sol, la arena y el cielo estrellado corren por tu cuenta 😎🌌😅

Great job to all of you, keep it up,
Wim & Christophe : all NOH is supporting you, if you you can, don't forget bringing back a bit of sun to Belgium !

Meaghan
Congrats on Day 1. Was able to see you and NAM group in the Blog! What a treat! Stay strong for Day 2. Your dad snd I are rooting for you! Love you!!

Great team. The bike ride seems to be less muddy than in the Belgian Ardennes. Go INOVYN, the others and Jacob, unleash the power of the mustaches.

Daniela,
You completed your first doubleheader! Woo! I know you're probably nervous about tomorrow's hike, but you got this! I'm proud of you! Cleo's proud of you too! Love you!

Bravo Constance. Tu vas faire des étincelles, j’en suis sûr. Je t’embrasse. Papa

À la fausse italienne,
C’est le moment d’envoyer, le plus dur c’était la préparation maintenant c’est de la rigolade. La Namibie, quelques cailloux et un peu de sable, rien d’insurmontable pour toi. Pas de bras pas de chocolat, reviens nous avec le sourire. 💪

Dear IN NAM Graduates,
Congratulations on your remarkable achievement getting to Namibia! As you conquer the vast desert through running and mountain biking, you embody the spirit of resilience, determination, and adventure.
Your journey is not merely physical; it’s a testament to the human spirit’s capacity to overcome challenges and embrace the unknown. Among your ranks, we proudly recognize the Belgian participants & the Black Stallion (sorry Alexis), who are sure are doing their utmost to proudly represent your ambassadors 😊.
When fatigue threatens to slow your pace, draw strength from the desert’s secrets—the tenacity of the resilient desert-adapted flora, the elusive oryx navigating the dunes, and the whisper of the wind carrying tales of forgotten civilizations.
Celebrate your victories—the miles conquered, the summits reached, and the camaraderie forged under the vast Namibian sky. May your memories be etched in the sand, your laughter carried by the desert winds, and your spirits forever intertwined with this ancient land.
Keep pedaling, keep running, and keep believing in the magic of exploration. It’s truly a unique journey and you should enjoy every second of it. The Namibian desert bows to your courage, and we applaud your indomitable spirit.
With admiration and pride,

Great job CBW team and all the Grads so far!! Keep up the strong work!

Thomas
Esperamos que el indómito desierto los haya recibido con amabilidad y que a pesar de la dura jornada hayan podido apreciar la belleza de la naturaleza y que la sigan apreciando.🌅🎇😎
Cada dia trae sus batallas como también sus pequeñas y grandes victorias, solo cada uno sabe con lo que ha tenido que luchar, lo importante es aprender, ser resilente, agradecer y seguir con fortaleza.🤘
cuentas con un gran apoyo, allá tienes un equipo y desde aquí te enviamos nuestro amor y todas las mejores energías para que conquistar el dia a dia de este desafio. ❤️🥰😘

te extrañamos, te amamos y te admiramos! 🦊🐥🐣

PS: hoy fue el primer día asi que recuerda reservar energía para el dia 6.🔋

Daniela,
You're an amazing and strong woman. We know you'll have a wonderful experience and will kick butt!! LOL!! LOVE YOU SWEETIE & GOOD LUCK!

Meaghan
Your Dad and I are so proud of you as you begin your trek. You have trained hard and can’t wait to hear your adventures! ❤️

Daniela, they are calling for T101 final inspection, are you free to head over there?
In all seriousness, congrats with getting done with day 1 Daniela, Fernando, Meaghan and Darrin! Enjoy the rest of your trip

THOMAS

Un fuerte abrazo

Thomas.
Pensándolo bien…creo que es mala idea lo de hacerse el desmayado; así que, a pedalear!!!

IN’NAM 24
Seems like Namibia wasted no time in doing what it does best - making some of you miss the colder climate of Northern Europe right off the bat.
Keep your spirits high and your senses sharp for what lies ahead. I’m sure you’ll enjoy each day more and more despite the cramps, the sore legs, the injuries… you name it…
Good luck to all and a big shout-out to the best support team on the planet.
Filipe Marques

Reed and your teammates
Congratulations on completing day 1! I had to convert 40degreesC and that is pretty dang hot!

On pense à toi, on t’imagine sur ton vélo au milieu du désert (avec tes superbes lunettes). Je suis sure que tu te débrouilles comme un chef !!
Nous, on est bien arrivées à Varengeville. Isaure adore le train, surtout aller fermer toutes les portes, tout en disant que « ca fait trop de bruit ». on parle beaucoup de toi (et des girafes!). On croit très fort en toi. Profite de cette expérience, qui ne se présente qu’une fois dans une vie !!
On est tous en forme en tout cas.
Love you Super Daddy ❤️

Day 1 is already complete and I’m sure all of you smashed it, conquering that deep sandy hill! Take tonight to think about how far you’ve already come and the adventures yet to come as you sit around the campfire under the stars. Special shout-out to Team USA (go Daniela, Meaghan, Fernando, Darrin, Reed and Chris!!) Y’all make us so proud!
Hugs to Jane, Lloyd, Pat and Phill. I know you’ll be impressed at how everyone “cracks on” :)

Dios te bendiga Danielita.

Daniela,
As you are getting ready to begin the challenge tomorrow remember to have fun, breathe, be present, give thanks to God, and repeat. Few people get the chance to go to Namibia, let alone do what you will do! Mami and papi will be rooting for you. Dios te bendiga mi amor.
