All good here!
Pirate Pete is an honourary Irish Man for the week due to sharing a Berber tent with 6 Irishmen!
Very exciting at the start of the race with AC/DC Highway to Hell blasted out (The event theme tune), 1200 adrenalin fuelled athletes and a helicopter filming overhead as we were released into the desert.
So Stage 1. 19 Miles and an 11 kilo rucksack. The thoughts are Ive brought too much food at 3400 calories a day.
Ran a few tiny sections in the first 2 to 3 miles then walked all the way.
The heat wasnt too bad due to a pleasant breeze most of the day.
A couple of sections of sand dunes in the last third of the stage were very dry and hot and I had to force myself to slow down a bit due to getting too hot, but that seemed to work. There was no breeze there.
Had a lot of interesting conversations on the course and avoided any blisters.
All good. X
