The route for day 3
Day 3 is the longest for far with 37km. Thankfully not as many dunes but still some smaller sandy stretches. Slow and steady is the mantra for today to keep some energy in the tank for the 'long day'. K & J
MdS Admin Day
Today is dedicated to getting ready for our race start tomorrow. Still being provided with breakfast, lunch and dinner before we become 'self sufficient' from tomorrow morning to Saturday mid day. Lots of queuing to get registered and complete gear and medical checks. Our duffles get collected and get transported to the finish. The running packs weighed in at 7.8kg (yep, for each of us..) of which 4.1kg is food which we'll work through day by day. Atmosphere is great, superb buzz in the air but without the familiarity which will inevitably develop over the course of the next couple of days as people bond over shared self-imposed pain.... loving the international-ness of it all. We breakfasted with a bunch of Frenchies, chatted to a German d-Phil student from Oxford after, gear check queue time was spent chatting to a guy from Durham who lives in Chiangmai (and is a very (!!) committed vegan), seeing lots of Japanese (great kit!) ...
