Stage 5


Finished thank god. Another scortching day with casualties everywhere, it was "just a marathon" but in the sand with high temperatures you could quickly find yourself in serious trouble. I wanted a decent finish and it went to plan around 6 hrs 40.
 
I haven't washed in a week and have worn the same outfit to run in - but everyones the same. Tonight I don't have boil in the bag and the rumour is I may get  a beer! There's a rock concert on tonight in our camp but I'm not sure my feet are up to standing!
 
 Tomorrow we have a 7km charity run and the tartan army will be walking it! Then back to the hotel after a 5hr bus where the shower awaits and any food not nailed down will be scoffed!
 
Thank you for your support and emails they helped more than you would imagine. Now for some rest and get life back to normal.  Finally a big thank you to my family who made a big sacrifice. Cheers
