Our man Joe - Day 3 of the Atacama Crossing

Stage 3 is under way in the Atacama Crossing desert race and our man Joe has just passed the second checkpoint.

July 25, Stage 3, 11:30am - At second checkpoint of the day, Ahn Byeung Sik, Korea in lead. Mark Tamminga, Canada and Joe Holland, USA, in second and third

Yesterday Joe finished 5th in stage 2 and gave up the overall lead to Canadian Mark Tamminga who is just 2 minutes and 20 seconds ahead.

If there is one thing for sure it's that Joe can withstand a fair amount of suffering and with a long 26 mile uphill leg today and Stage 5: Marcha de la Muerte (March of Death) coming up my money is still on Joe to take it all.
