Daniela at the 2005 ED800k
Paula Fernandes and Alziane Diógenes broke the barrier by being the first two women racing the Desafio 24h solo. Paula took it, showing an incredible determination and stamina, keeping her focus throughout the entire race. Alziane, with all her experience, struggled hard to keep the strong pace she was putting since the first hours. A hip lesion though, kept her dream away. She stopped right after doing the minimum amount of laps.
This year again, two girls will prove to be brave enough to endure the Desafio 24h. Caroline Van Den Bulk, from Canada, with all her will and strenght (read post 10/11), and Daniela Figueiredo , from Rio de Janeiro. Mountain biker since 2001, she competed the road race Extra Distance 800k in 2003. She also did three editions of the Ecomotion Pro, won the Big Biker Circuit (mtb) and the Desafio 12h (mtb) in 2007.
Mother of three, this experienced athlete aims to race the RAAM in 2009. Despite this major goal, she is planning to finish the race, knowing the conditions are harsh at Porto das Dunas.
