Team 10-TURISMO RUNNER-ROCKFORD; formed by Juan Carlos Valdes and Manuel Mena, after being in second or third place in each previous stage, result victorious this time.
Making a considerable lead between them and the other two teams disputing the final classification; 6-GNC y 1-LIDER /Al AIRE LIBRE, this new advantage has led them to add up to the best final score and making history winning the first edition of PATAGONIA EXPEDITION RACE WINTER EDITION …
A self critique made by Juan Carlos Valdes was “I didn’t wear my leggings during this stage as I always do in previous stages in this race”.
Just like yesterday, team 7-ARMADA de CHILE surprised us all taking second place in this final stage less than 10 minutes behind the leader. The last team back to the finish line was team 4-INACAP-BUFETE INDUSTRIAL, however, even though they were exposed to very low temperatures for much longer than the rest of the teams, both team members made it back safely with no issues caused by the cold, on top of it all, they were actually hot because of the physical activity and warm clothes they had chose to face this last section of the race.
Early in the morning the organization begins breaking down this last camp ground at Lago Deseado commence the trip back to the city of Punta Arenas. The convoy of vehicles gets on the in Chilota bay for the crossing of the Magellan Strait.
Once back on the continent the organization transported Verónica Bravo of team 1-LIDER /Al AIRE LIBRE to the Punta Arenas Hospital to continue with the treatment on her frostbitten feet… Veronica, we all wish you a fast recovery!!!.
We must emphasize the comradeship shown by racers and people from the organization and race media that have been visiting and supporting her while in recovery.
At night the closing ceremony was held at the . Team members have manifested their admiration for the spectacular landscapes shown on a screen in the background of the ceremony of the first winter version of PATAGONIA EXPEDITION RACE. On the other hand they have congratulated the organization for this new format of winter expedition races. Some photographers have admitted to have taken some of the best photos of their lives. Warm speeches and great comments from some team members towards Veronica Bravo, which is still in recovery. Finally, everybody that took place in this new adventure sincerely thank the companies and institutions that have supported in any/everyway in this event and allowing this new cycle of annual winter races.
And the final scores would be…
