The Marathon de Sables What are you made of?

  Day 6

Hi Guys

Today was my best day! I Managed the 42km stage in 6hours 40mins! It was going even better until about 6k out where I thought I had cramp in my calf, so I knocked back a dirolyte sachet, but the pain stayed. Turns out I think I have a strain in my soleus low down where it attaches to my achillies..... But who cares! Got a blister under my big toe which may result in me losing the nail, but the Doc says to leave it as it is small so it could go away...I bloody hope so coz I've seen them chopping peoples nails off and it doesn't look nice.

Last day tomorrow. See you all Monday :)

  Day 7

Today was fine.

Jogged through the Chebi Dunes, they are beautiful. Erg Chebi is a monster though! Calf was killing on the climbs but didn't really care coz the adrenalin was pumping and the exhilaration of finishing was immense!

Can't wait to come home now.
