Hello! Had my first day racing today. The weather was fab, dunes beautiful and
I have pulled up feeling really good.
We ran about 33km. The first 12k was through the most amazing dunes - so beautiful!
After the first checpoint we ran across a salt flat, before hitting some hillls and
then another set of dunes. My 8kg pack was a winner :) I had LOADS of fun running
down the dunes!
I had a running buddy all day - Caroline who was a room mate of mine in the hotel.
We had a great day and were pleased to finish equal today. We are hoping to run
together for the rest of the race.
We finished today in about 5.10 hours. VERY happy with my time!
To put it in perspective though, our Moroccan friends were finishing
not long after we went through the first checkpoint :)
We won't be getting any of our emails until tomorrow, so I am looking forward to
reading them then.
Here's to happy feet!
