Greetings from another world

Shucks! Its all become about instagram, Facebook and twitter these days that the old fashion blog is going out of fashion? Truth is I like this way of blogging way more.
You can't see who reads it and who likes it and who is offended by it, you simply give it all, the whole truth and nothing but the truth! I leave for Morocco in a couple of days and am looking forward to doing a lot of soul searching, thinking and writing...I have really missed it. Even thinking of going missing for a couple of days to get away from technology and all that.

I am not the most clever when it comes to website building and that but I don't like the fact that I don't have much control over my website Don't get me wrong, it is my fault, I should educate myself I suppose. But lets keep this one going for the Europe trip!

I will post memories from here, think it will be fun and easy to follow. See it as a little personal "share all" room out of the public eye.

You might read this you might not but I was thinking the other day, if we had no audience, would we still share all we share? Well my answer is simple, Abso - bloody - lutely...I love writing about my trips! I hope you guys enjoy this one coming up, its going to be a cracker.

So excited to share this story with all of you. Picture this, 20 years old, hardly any money, dropped out of University, second hand bicycle setting off on a cold rainy morning to cycle across South Africa. If you want to see how this journey changed my life, have a read.

This is the story of humble beginnings. Told by sports scientists and cycling coaches that this journey would be impossible to breaking a guinness World Record cycling from Cairo to Cape Town 4 years later. See why I do what I do.

Cairo to Cape Town Adventurer launches brand new "story telling" initiative

On 2 March Keegan Longueira rolled into the Waterfront in Cape Town South Africa, on his second hand bicycle, ager cycling the length of Africa, Cairo to Cape Town in just 59 Days. He beat the previous record held by dutch cyclist Robert Knol, the previous record was 71 Days.

Now the real adventure begins. "Its not about the adventure, its about the stories afterwards that make peoples hearts come alive," said Keegan about his brand new series of talks on the Cairo to Cape Town expedition.
"Usually people write books, we want to revolutionize that, we want to make the audience feel like they are there on the bike with me," he said.

Keegan has spent a good part of the month in the recording studio, re living the entire experience, day by day. The grueling process was finished just in time before he left for the DRC on a medical mission with Operation Smile. The talks will now be mastered and put into chapters which will be available soon. The audio series will be launched on iTunes, sound cloud and the Android Playstore within the next couple of months.

"This is an incredible project and we are proud to be part of it," said Mr Jean Michel Masson owner of Masson Media who committed their media team to the project.

"I really can't wait to get this out there, people can listen in their cars, on their phones, iPads and anywhere they want, I love the freedom in that!" said Keegan.

Attached are the links to the Trailer Video and Audio sound cloud link, explaining the project.

Guinness World Record attempt...again

Since getting back from the Cairo to Cape Town expedition I have been doing a lot of training with a local CrossFit Box in Witbank. The CrossFit Box (Mammoth) have really adopted me into the family and have agreed to train me for my next trip (which I won't give away yet). What happened next, well I wasn't really prepared for.

CrossFit Mammoth was single handedly responsible for the most pain I have experienced in my life!


Francois who runs the gym met up with me at a local coffee shop before one of my sessions to discuss a possible fund raising event for Operation Smile at Highveld Mall in Witbank. The point was to promote "Health and Fitness Week" at the mall and just shed some light on what CrossFit is about. After throwing some ideas together in the gym we reached a verdict, we would be doing burps. The format: 12 Hours, 10 Athletes, Guinness World Record, Burpee relay. (please click the word Burpee if you have no idea what it is)

As a current holder of a record I agreed to register the record on their behalf as the response time would be much quicker. The date was set for 6 June between 8am and 8pm.
The Thursday before the event however there were some last minute cancelations from athletes who had otter commitments. They were down to 7 names and needed at least one more name...you see were this is going?

The 8 Athletes that set the standard for the Guinness World Record on Saturday 6 June at Highveld Mall, back right, me, a confused looking cyclist thrown into the deep end of CrossFit not to sure if I cried after the picture, but it is possible.

Needless to say, the week before, the sound of "NO REP, NO REP..." was all I could hear between what I defined as a burpee during a session. They believed I could get it right and chucked my name into the list of athletes.

From this, I am happy to say that I was part of the attempt. We raised one surgery for Operation Smile. It was one of the hardest single day events I have ever done, mentally challenging, physically energy sapping and just all round hell. The saying, "Gone to hell and back," really made sense to me yesterday! We completed the 12 hours and managed 13 697 burpees establishing the new baseline for the Guinness World Record!

Just for the record, typing this today, I have rolled over from my bed, wrote as quickly as I can with the only part of my body that can move (my fingers) and will now be rolling back into bed. Have never felt this type of pain, but I would do it all over again, the body is an amazing thing, it is capable of anything, its only the mind that limits it. Over and out...have a lovely end to your Sunday!

Thanks to Francois for putting on a great show!
