It was just past seven in the morning, Tuesday September 11, 2001. I sat there in my car on my way to work and the phone rang.
“Hello, my name is Niclas Mårdfelt. Do you know about the rowing race between Tenerife and Barbados?”
“Yes! I do.”
“Great! The guy I was going to row with has pulled out. Would you like to participate in that race? It starts on October 7.”

"What have you been doing in Japan?"
The man in the seat next to me in the airplane tried to start a conversation by using this standard opening. It was late April 1998, and we were on our way back to Europe.
"My wife Mary and I ran a race between Nagoya and Kanazawa,"
The man looked confused, so I figured that more explanation was needed. Then I opened the airline magazine and looked up the page with the map of that airline’s all international routes, and started to tell the story about what Mary and I had been through in Japan.

In what kind of athletic event do they expect that only one third of all who start will finish? Many of the finishers are in such bad condition that they will need medical attention. Two tents have been rigged as some kind of field hospitals for that purpose. Nurses and doctors are busy. Bottles for IV-transfusions are hanging over the stretchers, moaning and groaning from people with muscle cramp and other kinds of discomforts are sometimes heard, as well as teeth that are rattling because of shivering, in spite of the heat.
This is about running, and the event is called Spartathlon, a 246 kilometer long race between Athens and Sparta in Greece.
