Turtle report

An odd ocurrance on todays run:
Halfway into the stage a big turtle was slowly crossingthe highway! Where it came from in the arid terrain of the "Las Pampas" region which I ran into today no one knows !
Jamie choose to film it - I ran past. At the next waterstop I learned that it hadnt been helped across the road afterwards. For my part I was most of all angry w. myself that I hadnt stopped and made sure it got safely across the tarmac. So: the gps was put at "pause", a marker put at the road and I got in the supportcar to drive back to lift it out of harms way (Else I NEVER get in the car from start to finish for whatever reason). But this animal was helpless w. the heavy trucks coming every few minutes !!

- He was gone. Eighter driven over or 'sprinted' across the road. An intense argument followed before I resumed the run where I hadleft it: Shall we leave nature to itself or try to prevent diseaster, small or big, if we can ? A Dilemma. But sometimes one feels inside beyond Any doubt what is right to do.. Later comes the doubts, reasons; excuses for our comfort !

Btw:
Just noticed that the 50 000km running barrier has been broken. Wr 1: 26 232km, wr 2: 23 879 = 50 111km :-)

But what does it all matter if I cant help 1 turtle across the road? Be KIND at each chance you get !
