May blessings continue to flow on you both. Eduardo, thank you for all your sharing, so brilliant….I have done really mini mini versions of outdoor challenges, but listening here nothing really compared to the intensity and commitment of adventure racing but all your learnings, experiences, determination, team playing ….all so interesting to hear and familiar if at a different level, for such a high level of such an extreme sport. Love your fundamental humble approach to it. The approach to your lodge and community is what we need in this world. Really great podcast guys. Costa Rica….I so want to come one day….Inshallah that will happen. Always a bed here in Kenya if you venture over Africa way. Namaste, Julia
