喝茶的艺术。

规划讨论成了每天的例行公事。每晚，我与土耳其当地领队Nur都会和警察大哥、地方官员还有每一位在我们长跑途中，竭心尽力想帮助我们的人喝上一到两小时的茶。今晚（周一），我们的行程则是前往位于切尔克斯省（Çerkes）的昌克勒市（Cankiri）与市长碰面，紧接着则是参观城中最古老的房子Fisek Ali Konagi，最后则在Ergin Yilmaz先生热情款待下享用了传统土耳其晚餐。

昨晚真的冷死了！多亏土耳其警方的强力奥援，我们在海拔约1,100公尺高的哈泰（Yenicag）找到一个停车场驻扎，并且受到这些当地警察妥善的照顾，整晚都有热茶可用。我们的司机大哥，包括Murat、Erkan、Mustafa、Ahmet、Kudret、Turgut还有司机领队Lokman也辛苦了，生平第一次扎营就是在这么寒冷又有点潮湿的刻苦环境。我们有额外采购了一些毯子，现在起应该大家可以睡得暖一点了（我希望啦！）。

今天跑了66公里——即便沿途路况高低起伏，跑者们依旧维持着一定的速度。明天的高度会稍微轻松一点，天气看来也会不错。物理治疗师Stephen持续将跑者们的生理状况维持在巅峰，「跑者们很棒！迄今为止部份跑者虽然有点小伤，但整体来说表现还不错。希望接下来的几周他们能适应长跑生活，这些小伤小痛也能慢慢消失。」他说。

我们的物理治疗师Stephen适时为跑者补充电解质与姜茶，将跑者们身体里的含水量维持得很好。在每五公里一次的补给时段陈军总显得饿坏了，不管是洋芋片、巧克力、香蕉、橘子、面包、小饼干…基本上视线范围可及之内所有能吃的，他几乎都想嗑掉。这些补给零食在大部分的午餐时段为跑者们补充了相当的热量。

Richard待在土耳其陪伴团队的日子将在明天告终。他将于明天飞往伊朗德黑兰完成细节并且和我们在国际奥委会的朋友们见面。这十天核心团队能够有Richard的陪伴真的非常棒！希望我们很快就能再度见到他。

Tea.

A routine is developing. Each evening Nur and I enjoy an hour or two drinking tea with police, officials and other people who are doing everything they can to help us on our way. This evening (Monday) was spent with the Mayor of Cankiri (Cerkes province) in his offices, followed by a tour of the oldest house in the town, Fisek Ali Konagi where Ergin Yilmaz looked after us very well with a traditional Turkish dinner.

The support team is doing really well considering the very cold night at we spent camping in a car park Yenicag last night at 1,100m. We were well looked after by the local police who offered us plenty of tea all night. Our drivers, Murat, Erkan, Mustafa, Ahmet, Kudret, Turgut and their leader, Lokman are doing a fine job remaining cheerful despite their first ever camping experience being very cold and a little wet. Extra blankets have been purchased so it will probably get warmer from now on (I hope!).

The runners are still clocking up the distance - 66km today with a lot of up and down. Tomorrow is a little easier on the elevation and it looks like the weather will be good. Stephen’s keeping on top of their physical condition “The boys are doing great, a few niggles but nothing more than you’d expect from what they’ve covered so far. Hopefully the next few weeks they’ll adapt to the running conditions and the niggles will subside”.

Stephen’s keeping them well hydrated with electrolytes and ginger tea. Chen Jun seems to be gobbling every snack in sight at the 5km stops. Pringles, chocolate, bananas, oranges, bread, biscuits…. Basically anything edible. The Expedition Foods are giving them a great boost of calories most lunchtimes.

Richard’s time in Turkey comes to an end tomorrow; he’s heading to Tehran to finalise details and meet with our friends from the National Olympic Committee. It’s been great having Richard with us this past 10 days and hopefully we’ll see him again soon!
