Gobi March (2025) blog posts from Ananda Baatar

02 October 2024 10:48 pm (GMT+08:00) Irkutsk, Ulaan Bataar

Hello everyone!

Welcome to my first blog post! I’m Ananda, a participant in the Gobi March 2025 from Mongolia. I’m thrilled to embark on this incredible adventure, though I must admit, I’m a bit nervous since this will be my very first ultra marathon.

It all started last summer on a sunny day when my best friend Tsatska described me a vlog she had watched. She was so amazed and inspired by it. Then she asked if I wanted to join her and her husband in the race?

I paused for a few minutes, thinking it over, and then asked her back, “Is there anyone, besides your husband, who always supports your craziest ideas and is ready to join without hesitation?” She paused for a moment and then replied, “You, Ananda! No one else.”  This is how it begins!

Now, I am super exicted and want to see where this journey takes me.

I’ll be posting updates over the next few months. If you have any questions about Mongolia or Ulaanbaatar, feel free to drop a questions. I’d be happy to share what I know in my next bloggs!

Ananda, I can't wait to meet you. Any tips on must see places in Mongolia? What are things to do in Ulaanbaatar? I hope the training continues to go well as I know it's cold there now. All the best, Mary

How exciting for you that it is your first 4 deserts event and that you live on Mongolia. Very Special. I have never been to Mongolia so looking forward to checking things out the few days before the race. Sandy
