Early visit to Morocco!

Xmas has come early for me. I have been looking at going abroad to train in heat and desert conditions but didn't fancy going out on my own. The challenge is not just the heat and the sand but hydration in the desert when you don't have any support. Perhaps been captured and held for ramsom might be another but that would be unlikely. So yesterday I received an invitation to train with a three time MDS winner in Morroco for four days at the end of February. It covers all the preparation I'd require including night running and obviously there will be a support team. This is where the family support comes in because permission was given as it will end up a six day trip and a month later I will be away for the best part of 2 weeks. I got their blessing as they know how much preparation is required to be ready for this challenge and having laid out a small fortune, I don't want to mess it up through either lack of training or knowledge. Remember I live my life by the 7 P's (piss poor preparation precipitates piss poor performance)! I think this 4 day excursion will be a fabulous opportunity to learn from the experts. Can't wait.
