I arrived in Macha, Zambia this morning. It took almost 48 hours to get here. My parents were waiting for Austin (my cousin) and myself at the landing strip (literally just a dirt pathway!)
I found out that the "Macha Olympics" were this week and they were having a special 7k run this afternoon.
Of course, the American guy in Pajamas had to run in the race!
I got beat by a bunch of little kids! Man, are they fast...even without shoes!!
Elevation, hills and lack of sleep all slowed me down, but even without those factors...I don't think I could have even come close to winning!
Anyway, it was an excellent welcome to the village and I had a great time on my first Macha run (the first of many!)
