| SOLIDARITY PROJECT "TAR 2012 ORPHANAGE J.A. APRIL SANCHEZ, QALA I NOW (AFGHANISTAN)" |
This project aims to provide the Orphanage Juan Antonio Abril Sánchez, Qala City I Now (Afghanistan) the material means necessary to fulfill their educational tasks, making this orphanage a more dignified and appropriate for children. All the donations will aim to achieve this end. The choice of the orphanage as beneficiaries of our project was simple, because the four components of the team are assigned to the Deployment Support Squadron Air (EADA). This unit has been deployed in Afghanistan since 2002, spending long periods components in the city of Qala-I Now. For this reason we know first hand the difficulties and hardships faced by children and women of this country.
The tool we use to achieve our goal is participation in the 2012 edition of the GORE-TEX ® TRANSALPINE-RUN (TAR). Our dream is to convert the accumulated meters upstream (positive slope) for euros. This money is used for the purchase of goods or wares that succeed in improving life in the orphanage, furniture, teaching materials, school, sports, heaters, warm clothes, food ...
You can collaborate with the amount of donation that everyone wants. Through Sport Solidarity platform can be done ONLINE entry form or by making a transfer to the following account: Caixa Catalunya 2013-0756-01-0200595762 (IBAN ES96 2013 0756 0102 0059 5762) indicating "METRO ZERO" in the subject.
All we can offer in return is all our hope and desire that we are putting to make this project succeed. We are open to listen to any initiative or idea that you might consider appropriate.
On our blog: http://baztrailcierzo.blogspot.com can get more information about the project and our sport curriculum.

| Nick Collins |
Over the course of this blog you will find out what makes us tick and why on Earth we are running this event. A short intro to the Team; Dave - the mentally tough one of our group. Pre race warm up is usually a beer and he has a great deal of milage under his ageing feet. Jamie Kellett (JK) - has a job I can only describe as like Chandlers off of Friends.I'm always forgetting what this is but he does love a spread sheet! Could also be the only 28yr old who's voice hasn't broken. Jamie Stafford - my fellow big nose and running partner. Has grafted away to start up his own property development company at the tender age of 29 in north London. Then there is me! Nick- The second part of the nose brigade and the personal trainer of the group. It is my job to plan, track and implement all of the training we're about to embark on... we're an opinionated bunch so that should make this nice and easy for me!! nick-collins.blogspot.com»

| QUIJOTES TRANSALPINOS |
Hola a todos, este blog se ha creado para narrar la aventura de 6 deportistas manchegos (Ciudad Real y Puertollano) desde el momento en que uno de nosotros planteó hacer esta carrera hasta el momento en que crucemos la meta.
La prueba en cuestión es la GoreTex@ Transalpine 2012, una ultra trail que recorre cada año, alternativamente, una de las caras de los Alpes (Este u Oeste). Esta carrera tiene características que la hacen diferente y que probablemente nos han condicionado para elegirla como próximo reto:
- Ha de correrse por parejas (que han de estar fisicamente juntas a lo largo de la prueba)
- Recorre varios paises (¿quien no lleva un trotamundos dentro?)
- Los parajes de los Alpes.
- Duración y distancia: 8 días y 320 km son un reto que invita a superarse si eres un verdadero "Quijote".
Entrenamientos, noticias, fotos, carreras preparatorias,...todo lo que podamos plasmar y creamos que ayude, a nuestros conocidos y a quienes nos quieran conocer, a saber como nos preparamos para superar este desafío. transalpina2012.blogspot.com» |

| Racing for a Reason |
 This year Berkeley, California runner Sarah Syed,is racing for a reason-- to support the San Francisco Bay Chapter of the Sierra Club. "It's my goal to enjoy the race while raising awareness of the Sierra Club's work to protect the environment," Sarah says. "I want to increase the financial stability and diversity of our Chapter so we are better-equipped to respond to the pressing challenges of climate change, sustainable development, and open space preservation." .
The Sierra Club is the United States' oldest, largest, and most influential environmental organization. Sarah is proud to play a small role as a volunteer Executive Committee Chair for the Northern Alameda County Group. Spend time getting to know the Sierra Club, and you might find yourself planting trees in a neighborhood near you, on a backpacking trip or urban hike, or formulating policy late into the night. Sarah runs with the Strawberry Canyon Track Club, has completed several marathons and 50 kilometer races, and ran the Boston Marathon in 2010. Please follow Sarah's blog on race training and her Sierra Club benefit and join her in making a difference at www.sarahsyed.com>>. You can also follow Sarah on twitter at: trailwonder>>
Sarah and her partner Karl Schnaitter start as Team Oski. |

 For the past two years I have been aspiring to an endurance lifestyle. I have a passion for training, racing and exploring physical and mental barriers. My younger days were spent dipping my toe into various sports such as basketball, rowing and swimming before university and a career saw me spending more time in the pub chatting about 'what I used to do' rather than getting out there and being active. As my weight pushed 15 1/2 st and my inactivity found new limits I decided it was time for a change. Signing up to my first short course triathlon was the best thing I ever did and since then have never looked back…unless you count in races. To the Blog>> |

| Blog: Equipo Oxígeno |
 La TAR es una de las carreras de ultradistancia de montaña más duras -en 7 etapas se recorren 260 km con un desnivel acumulado de 15.000 m- y atractivas del mundo trail: por el reto físico que supone, por el escenario alpino donde se desarrolla, porque se corre por parejas y porque se experimentan los auténticos valores de la montaña. Desde Oxígeno lanzábamos un desafío para los apasionados del running cuyo objetivo era enviar una pareja de corredores para participar en esta odisea entre montañas. Desde esta sección podrás seguir las últimas noticias sobre la prueba o el día a día del entrenamiento de los dos lectores que nos representarán en la carrera. El RETO OXÍGENO ya está en marcha…
