Algirdas Puisys

The Antarctic Ice Marathon will be the first marathon for both Roma and Algirdas. They are not sure whether to call themselves adventurous or just crazy, choosing the Antarctic Ice Marathon challenge as a Christmas gift for one another on Christmas Eve last year. It has since been a crazy year for Roma and Algirdas as they changed their usual mountain biking, skiing, and bushido training routine to running. Both have been happy they made the Ice Marathon their goal as it helped to return them to a more professional and disciplined training life. Roma and Algirdas have both been a semi professional sports level all their lives, participating many mountainbike, mountainbike orienteering and multisport competitions of prolonged duration, so both feel ready to face Antarctic challenge. Roma competed for the Lithuanian mountain bike orienteering team for 5 years and was the main organizer of World Mountain Bike Orienteering Championship in Vilnius, Lithuania in 2017. Algirdas favourite sport is biathlon, also bushido instead of traditional cross fit training, but he is most famous as a dental surgeon in his daily professional life.
