Well the day has finally arrived and today all competitors in the Marathon de Sables 2008 will be shipped out across the Sahara Desert to set up base camp, select tent mates and finalise all last minute details prior to the Official Registration process commencing on Saturday morning and the start at 9am Sunday.
Following preliminary reports that heat conditions will be more oppressive than ever this year, I have now made the final decision not to take the risk and subject the Marathon Man suit to the intense heat of the desert and will rather organise a special limited appearance during the Registration process on Saturday to brighten up the day!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the tremendous support and look forward to carrying the Aussie flag with pride across the Sahara over the next week or so ...
Looking forward to receiving your valuable messages of support to keep me going and will be sure to update the blog when possible from the desert!
