This is the life

Now this is the life! Finished up the race yesterday and am lounging outside by the pool in nice cool 30 C weather. :-)

The last stage wasn't timed and went through 7 K of the biggest dunes we'd seen yet. Since it wasn't a race we decided to walk the stage as a group with our tent mates. Also since it wasn't a race we decided we could win this thing and power walked (when we weren't playing on the slippery dune slopes) - lame I know but fun all the same. It's nice at the front where the sand is untracked and has a bit of a crust for traction. Amanda and Mo made the 6 hrs bus trek out to the finish to greet us which was awesome.

Been chillin' in Ouarzazate all day today with the tent mates. We all finished relatively unscathed - a few small blisters and black toenails - so we can all walk, eat, and importantly drink normally which made for a fun day. Looking forward to a couple more weeks of vacation and will post some pics when I get home - I think there are some pretty good ones.

Btw. Scott finished in the top 50 overall and was top Canadian! Pretty cool.

Dusty Bob out.
