Looong stage!

Yesterday madam Sahara was hot & sweet. It's now just before noon on the 'rest' day after the long stage (some are still out there now) and its already heating up. Thankfully the usual 1 hr email line up in the sun was only 10 min today. It got smokin hot during the day so I couldn't run a step without getting severly overheated. Ran a couple stages in the morning (there were 7 stages), then hiked. I was in a 6km large dune field at sunset which was amazing! I spent the last 30 minutes of light scrambling around dunes trying to get some nice pics. Once the sun set they shot a green laser from the next CP that could be seen while in the dune valleys. I walked through the night with the rest of the Sahara zombies but I was feeling pretty good - a couple small blisters but all else is well. One more big stage tomorrow then a short (although through big dunes) stage. Can't believe it's almost over...
Hope all is well in the real world. Miss you all. Don't forget to shoot a quick note :)
