The Weekly Photo Challenge is achievement.
We are preparing for the 4th Annual Fuego y Agua Survival Run on Ometepe Island. Every February, we follow the runners up and down both volcanoes and through jungles. It is a grueling race and most do not finish. However, for those who do survive and finish the race, it is an incredible achievement.
Last February’s course for the Survival Run.
Throughout the course, the runners have to complete many obstacles to receive 4 metals.
Johnson, our local runner, is hard to beat. He won the Survivor Run two years in a row.
Last February, 47 runners started the race, and only three finished. The winners all received devil masks.
Johnson had his hair cut in the shape of our two volcanoes.

Always expect the unexpected at the Fuego y Agua Survival Run. February 2013, they raced with live chickens.

Are you ready to compete?
This race really intrigues me, Debbie. I remember your coverage of it in the past and it includes some pretty clever obstacles. Good choice for achievement.
Thanks, Lynne. I am really looking forward to the next race in February. Johnson is training again and we can follow him in our dune buggy.
Looks like so much 🙂
I cannot imagine! I would be lucky to make it up one of the volcanoes at a leisurely pace. I will look forward to hearing how it all turns out this year. Will it be Johnson again?
I don’t know if Johnson will win again, but next Feb. he is racing in the 100K and the Survival run. Oh, to be young and strong! You really need to come and see this. It is an incredible race.
so glad you’ll be able to have it again.
Me, too. And I am so happy to hear that Johnson is going to race again. I was a little worried that he would sit out a year, but he’s training as I speak.
Wow! That IS an achievement and your guy is in great shape!!

What a nice way of using storytelling through photos; the first photo of Johnson- HA he looks so smug there.
Johnson looks smug in the photo, but he is the most humble athlete I know.
