It's known world-wide as the toughest 48 hours in sports and Dr. Botha will be there to compete in the Furncase 508 tomorrow in California! The race is a grueling cycling event in which riders have only 48 hours to cycle 508 miles. This invite-only event features the top athletes from around the world and is one of the most difficult endurance events in the world. Some claim it is THE most difficult. Find out more about it at http://www.the508.com/
Starting tomorrow at 8 a.m., Dr. Botha will be among the competitors battling blood, sweat and tears for a finish. Miss a check-point and you are disqualified! Although he has been training for numerous hours each day, this will still be a VERY difficult event. There is very little time for refuelling the body via nutrition or sleep.
Please keep your eyes on this blog for updates and any well-wishes can be sent to Dr. Botha at anbotha@telus.net. He loves getting messages from supporters and cherishes each and every one. We sure appreciate all the suppport!!!
