Stage 2 - Tuesday 31st - made it home from this one too!

31/03/09 – Stage 2 - Erg Znaïgui/Erg Znaïgui : 36 km
Conditions at 8.45am: 16C and 38% humidity

Conditions at 10am : 21C and 37% humidity
Conditions at 12.15pm : 24C and 18% humidity
A cold start to the morning and strong winds to contend with, more high sand dunes and some stoney ground too, but Rebecca made it successfully again today - coming home in a time of 6 hrs 33 and still over 200 behind her to have their times posted, so don't know how many completed the course. Hopefully she's now getting a good rest as tomorrow is the big one - 75 km to be completed by Thursday, then they get the rest of the day off on Thursday, run a full marathon on Friday and a half marathon to bring them home on Saturday! I haven't heard from her yet - don't know how easy it is to get to the communications tents to get on a computer, maybe she's just got her feet up! and getting her strength up for tomorrow.....
