THE RACE IS STARTING TOMORROW (SORRY - cant find an exclaimation point on this keyboard)
The rain has stopped and we will be running stage 2 tomorrow. They are quite sure stage 3 will go ahead but not sure what will happen after that. The course has had to be re-routed, so no one knows what we will be up for.
It has been so et that the organisers apparently lost 2 trucks - one swept away in a river and one in a sand bog, which might indicate just how extreme the weatrher has been.
My room mates and I head a great night last night with the Moroccan runners. They are in the room next to ours and are our new best friends :) We had the top 5 runners pulling our packs apart and cutting stuff out (I am now down to 8kg which is pretty good. The Moroccans are just under 7kg). It was just fantastic - I have idolised those guys for years. They are amazing fun - you all have to cheer for the Ahnsal brothers and Samir (cant remember his last name). BTW my newly christened Moroccan name is Malika :)
Anyway - keep praying for dry weather for us and you should be able to watch the progress and email me tomorrow (or tonight Aus time). Dont forget to sponsor my run - I am risking my life in the floods for this!
SO excited to finally be getting ready to be underway. Wish me luck!
