Sebastian Cuina in Patagonia

Hi guys!

How are you? I am writting because I have some news:
I will be running in Patagonia next week. The name of the Race is “4 Refugios” (Four mountains shelters), and it covers 4 mountain shelters in two days running. It is a trail running race. The place will be Bariloche, it is a well known ski centre in Patagonia (it is the biggest). It is ending summer here, but at 2.500 mts in height the wind and the cold show up.

I will write you as soon as I finish, and I hope to have some nice pictures to send you too. I wish everything to be great there,

Regards, Sebastian

Sebastian Cuina

This is Sebastian Cuina, he is an orienteer in Argentina:

It was a hard race, 80 kilometers in two stages of 40. Each stage had 2.000 meters of altitude difference. We (a friend and I) made them in 17 hours. We are not going to be recognized, even in a 100 years from now for our challenge, but we are happy about our performance. We only had 2 and a half months of training. But it just was the beginning…

I still don’t have a lot of pictures, I am sending you just a few. I hope to find some in the next days. Even though, I am attaching two. What you see behind me is the Nahuel Huapi Lake, and the Tronador Mountain. Tronador has snow every year, and there is a glaciar on the top. I am running there to the Cerro Lopez Summit.

I want to apologize because I do not use the jacket, but temperature was 35°C, so I was running with a short slave T-shirt.

As soon as I get more pics, I will send them to you. Next step, I think it will be in May, at Cordoba Province, hiking Cerro Champaqui. There it is going to be COOOOLDDDD.

See you, Sebastian
