Wow that sounds super exciting! I'm very interested to learn about how everyone is preparing and their experience throughout the entire process leading up to the event. Sounds like a really great opportunity and life changing time to develop new relationships and do something that will better ourselves. Where can I find more info on the possibility of becoming involved? - Dillon

Hi Sam! I'm looking forward to Mongolia and to meeting you. Your comments about going back to basis and finding undiscovered parts of the world align with how I feel about it too. I've done 3 previous Racing The Planet events, these being Madagascar 2014, Ecuador 2015 and Sri Lanka 2016. I love exploring different parts of the world and visiting new countries and Mongolia certainly fits the bill, as it will be my first visit there. I love Central Asia and have visited neighbouring countries but not Mongolia itself. What better way to explore it than to push yourself to your limit. Not that I'll be breaking any records this time. I'm training hard, with a 100km race in May and a tough marathon in June as lead up events, but legs seem to have lead in them. Never mind, happy to just enjoy the scenery, the company, and take some photos! Looking forward to meeting you and the team! Ashley.
