A challenge that would stretch me - Bia Anchão

Facing new challenges is always an excitation moment for me, mainly when they related to a physical overcoming. Since I was a child, I always pushed myself into different activities that required my body usage. Mixing power with balance in different proportions to find the best performance in whatever I was intending to do.

Recently I started running and walking in different track’s surfaces. Obviously, the New Zealand’s nature helped me, giving me more inspiration while practicing, as I was staring such beautiful spots and places.

My next challenge will be the Routeburn Track. It has 39 km, and takes around 2-3 days to be completed, going through the most diverse scenarios including forests, mountains and lakes in the South Island.

I don’t feel prepared to this track, not yet! I still need to face some obstacles, such as a recent knee injury that is almost healed, but got me a little out of shape, making me suffer much more with the physical wear and tear. But I’m focused on accomplishing it. No pressure, but too much motivation!!
