Greetings all,
We are really loving our time in Casablanca, despite the cancellation of this year's Duathlon race. Yesterday we relaxed with the family of Race Director, Jamal and his mother prepared us a beautiful cous cous and we got to explore the urban jungle of "Casa". It is amazing how welcoming and friendly people are and Sebastian couldn't be dragged away from playing soccer with the local boys in the alley way. One of the great highlights of travelling is that Sebastian can get exposure to the broader context of humanity and all it's forms around the world. It is the greatest lesson I have learned and it is really rewarding seeing him gain these experiences and have so much fun.
This morning, James Attard (fellow Aussie Duathlete) and I did a session on a dirt running track inside the local athletics stadium. The laps are 350m long and after doing an interval session the legs and clothes are completely covered in dirt. We were told that many great athletes have trained here and it shows how facilities and infrastructure are of little importance in a Spirit driven sport like running.
We are off to Marakesh for a few days and then I will try to find a big 10k road race in France next week to tune up the legs for the next races.
Running Regards
Radar
