The training, planning and tactics appear to be paying dividends. Long way to go but another good day today. 22 tough miles, strong wind, hot and hills, sand dunes and rocky trails. Just for fun the last 2 miles was in really difficult dunes - like climbing a summit, the last one never wanted to materialise.
Today took only 22 minutes longer than yesterday at 6hours 40, despite being 2.5 miles longer and tougher. Did over 1 minute per mile quicker. Have moved up rankings by about 40 places.
Some serious hobbling going on around the camp, but at present my feet are in pretty good condition.
Big day tomorrow; still don't have details. No e mail until Thursday but my time will be posted on darbaroud web site during day on Thursday.
