There are 200 of us on the list and every 15 minutes is worth around 9586PLN while the total amount of donations has exceeded 38,500 PLN. Being a quarter of an hour late has never cost so much, and a half hour.. I’d rather not imagine. It’s only now that one can see how perverse this mechanism really is.

I received an email from Mariusz and I’m quoting its fragment: “Training sports and physical activities are a pleasure and a privilege – many dream about it… We’ll make a donation to the foundation’s account…” He is right, I am privileged. I am grateful for it and I wanted to share it with those who can’t even move from their beds and whom I will never meet. At the same time I see on the list of contributors a large group of people who haven’t joined because of your love for this discipline.. this is your project now, the proportions have been reversed. In the hope that I won’t knock myself out, Rosabelle Tarnowska [25 on the list]  raised the bar to the highest level making it possible for the project to succeed in its entirety. The only one who can spoil it is me, and I have to forget about it as of tomorrow, which won’t be easy. I also received opinion that, apparently it is a great example for kids and teenagers – something I haven’t expected – would be great.

On Sunday from dawn [6 a.m], the race raport on-line on the blog.

In a moment the head of the project, i.e. Kasia, will switch off my computer and take me to Malbork where I will pick up my number [25] and undergo my technical examination. Tomorrow, at 6:00 AM on the dot I will be alone for a moment in order to finish this final part of the job we’ve been doing. No idea how long it will take, maybe Zdzichu has some. He’s competing in the Half IM, beginning at 9:00 AM. He’ll probably complete it under 5.5h and then, as he said: “I’m starting the barbecue and waiting for you.”
