Well all good after day 1 and no blisters (so far)
I was worried that day 1 was fairly easy and may lull us into a false sense of security. I was right!
So after yesterdays 19 miles we had 24.5 to do today and it was going to be very sandy. I walked all day and chatted to lots of different people on the way.
I deliberately started near the back of the pack and it meant I was mainly overtaking people, which was nice.
Luckily, as yesterday there was a cooling breeze for most of the day. That is until 5 or 6 hours in when the wind went and we entered a rock gulley which took us climbing over a large rock jebel (large hill). The heat was punishing.
I stopped at the top of the gulley to take some photos (not to catch my breath you understand) On the summit a one legged racer caught me up. Amazing, such drive!
Managed to make my water last. Left foot is a bit sore but no blisters and even sand skied down
Thanks to all Pete xx
