Marathon Des Sables – Day Four Update

Thanks for all the email, I really really appreciate them, I’m suffering badly with blistered feet and the going is so tough, I’m suffering more than I ever have before but I will keep going.

Sorry I couldn’t get an update Yesterday, I was in the Doc Trotter having the doctor apply a second sking to blisters on my heel that are down to the flesh. My feet are pretty much done for and every step is so so painful. I finished the 80km stage do only one 42km & the 20km to finish. Its do hot, 45 degrees and 2% humidity! It was roasting hot yesterday going over the mountain stage I was close to fainting but I hung in. I can’t believe how hard the heat is to handle even at 9am in the morning….

Mum and Dad your the best, India I love you, thanks for your Scottish Kisses 🙂 Everybody else who sent me an email thank you so much…now I’m blubbing 🙂

Only two more stages, Fuck Yeah!!!
