Route Report Part 1:
Kazuka will start at roadsign 916 and J. and A. will start at roadsign
933. >.
- At startpoint we dont have mobile signal and there could be several days
before we reach a zone where we can transmit the reports.
Therefore we send this "start-report" and hope for patience untill the
reports can be transmitted :-)
We leave the 1 million city Krasnojarsk (means "red hills") with big
thanks for their help to our team and medical support to Kazuka!

Needless to say it was great to get running in 'direction due East' again
:-) Alexander and I ran most of the stage together to make sure we both
got good picture documentation of the many small roads on todays stage.
Kazuka chose to carefully speed-walk the stage to spare the knee. Tomorrow
was planned to be a 70km stage, but we will divide it on two days so she
can have a chance to get back into the run. After that we must run normal
stages, and after Irkutsk try to make up distance !
The M53 makes a long turn South before our finish point at Borodino, so it
made good sense to run the secondary roads to get a more direct line. But
not without extra effort in ways of roadfinding... see below.
Our supply-driver made a super effort keeping service to all group and
making sure Kazuka didnt make the road-mistake A. and I made at about 1/2
way point !
* Road notes to secondary road:
< 800m after roadsign 933 on M53 left turn onto secondary road.
Then forward passing roadsign 7 to roadsign 29 + 500m. Then right on
second road, passing railroad and roadsign 1 to roadsign 3 + 700m. Then
left at T-cross, 300m and under railroad bridge
Then forward passing roadsign 3 to roadsign 7. Then right at T-cross and
forward passing roadsign 4 to white city sign "Borodino" & city monument
near roadsign 12 and meet with Borodino sport committy >.
All ofcourse with photo-documentation and video at finish :-)
