Stage 4

So much has happened!

My tent mate was rushed to hospital but got through the big day. On the big day I ran with 2 pals and one needed medical treatment in the heat of the day. We waited 30 minutes which cooked us and threatened our chances but it was a life or death moment - he made it in the end.

Completing 78km in 1 day was brutal, it involved 6km of dunes and over 30km of soft sand. The temp is rumoured to have peaked at 50 and there were loads of casualties including Laurence Klein the 3 times winner. Heading through the dunes in the darkness with a star lit sky and a huge green lazer beam for guidance was amazing. Got to bed a 2am and now have a rest. Can't believe I've made it with the 7 blisters on my feet. 

Your support has helped. Only a marathon tomorrow! Can't wait for some decent food and an ice cold beer! It's all we're talking about.
