...12km flat. Make time. 10 min run. 5min walk. Pleasant temp.
CP1. Feeling good. 1st sandy ascent. Making places. Spectacular pass. Crazy helicopter. Rapid descent. Getting hotter.
CP2. Long plain. Ipods rock. No one else can nav. Overtaking. This isn't so bad.
CP3. 4km dunes. 38C. Sick of lucozade. Plough on. Here's the leader. Insanely fast.
CP4. Only 2 blisters. Still highly placed. 35C. Starting to feel sick. Wine gum time. Still feel sick. Left foot, Right foot. Slowing but others are slower. 7km steep dunes. Can never enjoy a beach again. Why is this the only windless day?
CP5. Dizzy and stumbling. Haribo time. Haribo melted. Others now running past. 20km to go. Down to 5kph so 4 hrs. Sunset. Haemorraging positions. Must eat. Can't eat. Eat. Retch. 16km to go. Now at 4kph: 4hrs to go. Damn. Sand. More sand. Night. Encouragement from Aussies.
CP6. Forced to take rest by official. Flapjack. Nausea. Why am I hotter now? 8km. Neil passes. Left. Right. Sand. Hill. 4km. Finish.
