2016四大極地 第三站 – 智利阿他加馬高原沙漠 250KM
【Atacama Crossing 250KM – D2】
經過一夜的休息，彥博感冒狀況好轉，D2的44.1公里路程急起直追，賽道地形從沙丘到巨石峽谷，須涉水穿過2~3條零下低溫、非~常~冰~冷~的溪流(彥博強調…是極冷)，水深及膝上，並通過古道和隧道。總爬升243M,下降535M.
為了追回領先名次，彥博在檢查點減少休息時間，從CP1(第一檢查點)到CP2追過3名選手。此時領先集團的6位男選手同時並進，彥博告訴自己一定要超越他們，後面的20公里沒有停下來補給和休息，一路持續加速到最後，在均高海拔2500公尺的環境下，非常非常辛苦。
彥博說：昨天的身體不適和成績不理想多少影響心情，但是他必須擊碎心中的大石頭才能去突破自己，而大石頭就是負面情緒，調整好自己心態轉換動力繼續往前。
最終以5小時17分鐘 - 第一名領先抵達Camp3終點，明日D3賽道為39公里，累積總里程將達到120公里。跑在鹽質粉碎的阿他加馬沙漠，被喻為如火星地表的環境下，可想而知其艱難程度。彥博加油!!我們一同陪伴你堅持下去。
3 October 2016, Stage 2
The total distance of Stage 2 is 44.1km / 27.6 miles - that is an additional 8 kms / 5 miles compared to yesterday and has some technical sections.
The stage starts through some slot canyons - this time with high walls and water in the bottom - about 5kms of the first section has water between ankle and thigh deep. Going through here in the morning means that they are in the shade and the water is icy as it is snow melt from the mountains. They will then go up another old road (637 meters / 2089 feet elevation gain), through a tunnel, a long a ridge and down a dune that they will remember for the rest of their lives in CP2. They then enter the Valley of Death, go through "Beter" and finish with a small dune into Camp 3 on a Desert Farm.
