Tautvydas Grabauskas' hike with "Kemperiai 365": travelling by camper van and its importance for athletes
Lithuanian ultramarathon legend Tautvydas Grabauskas is preparing for one of the most extreme challenges in the world of sport - the 30-lap ultramarathon, or 30 Ironman distances, which he will attempt over 45 days in Italy. During this journey, when the athlete and his team will face enormous physical and logistical challenges, Kemperiai 365 will provide important support by providing them with mobile and comfortable campervans.
This unusual journey, which requires not only physical but also psychological endurance, is a true test of the limits of human capabilities. Having already completed a 20-gauge ultramarathon, Tautvydas knows exactly what it means to face the limits of the body and mind. "My mind "carries me", I wonder how my body does? It will be a chance to test myself," said the athlete as he prepares for what is sure to be a march that will go down in sporting history.
Tautvydas's trek is not only remarkable for its scale, but also for the difficult conditions it will face. The 114 km swim is just the beginning, followed by a 5,400 km bike ride, and finally a run with another 1,260 km to cover. "The wounds are all over the body, both in the mouth and on the whole body. Hands swell up. Fingers are torn," said Tautvydas, speaking frankly about the physical challenges that lie ahead.
Travelling by campervan: freedom, mobility and comfort
Travelling by campervan is more than just a transport solution - it's a way of life that gives you the freedom to travel on your own terms, no matter where the road takes you. For athletes like Tautvydas Grabauskas, campervan travel is a particularly valuable solution for several important reasons.
1. Mobility and flexibility
One of the biggest advantages of travelling by campervan is mobility and flexibility. Athletes often train and compete in different locations, so the need to move quickly and comfortably from one place to another is essential. A campervan allows teams to move easily, adapting to changing conditions or unexpected situations. For Tautvydas Grabauskas, the opportunity to sleep, rest or prepare for the journey is invaluable when covering huge distances.
2. Comfort and relaxation
In endurance challenges of this magnitude, such as Tautvydas', every minute of rest is precious. Campers provide the comfort necessary for the body to recover after intense training or competition. After a long day, when every muscle is crying with fatigue, being able to stretch out and rest in a comfortable bed instead of a cold sleeping bag in a tent can make the difference between victory and defeat.
3. Logistics solution
Logistics play a key role in sporting events, especially long and complex ones like ultramarathons or triathlons. The campervan becomes a mobile hub for storing and transporting essential equipment, food, drinks and other necessities. In Tautvydas' case, where he is taking as many as 20 large boxes of equipment - from wetsuits to running shoes - to Italy, the camper van is an indispensable tool to keep everything close at hand.
Logistics of the march: support from Kemperiai 365
Tautvydas and his team will rely on the support of Kemperiai 365 for this incredible journey. The campervans will be an important part of the logistics, providing resting places as each day gets harder. "You can sleep wherever you want. We, for example, take campers," said the athlete, stressing that although sleeping time will be limited, every minute will be precious.
"As one of the main sponsors of the Walk, Kemperiai 365 will not only provide Tautvydas and his team with vehicles, but also ensure that this mobile headquarters is comfortable and reliable. This will give Tautvydas the opportunity to concentrate and prepare for each stage of the march.
How to prepare for the impossible
Such a trip requires very careful preparation. Tautvydas is taking seven pairs of running shoes, three wetsuits, and lots of running and cycling paraphernalia to Italy. "If last year I started running in size 45 shoes, I ended up in size 51," he said, explaining how his feet get swollen from the physical exertion.
Sleep deprivation will be another challenge during the march. Tautvydas plans to sleep only two hours a day and will spend the rest of the time completing the challenges one by one. The fact that the entire distance must be completed in a maximum of 45 days only adds to the scale of the challenge.
