The day from Hell

Andy has sent another update...looks like this was a tough day. Caz

Day Four, 70 km of the worst that mother nature can offer:
Song of the day... MPeople=Proud.

Well, you were guaranteed to reach your physical endurance limit today, and for many of us that came early in the stage with a 6km, punishing slow relentless climb through soft sand before a baking hot cauldren that lead to 20km of agony through massive dunes.

There is a sombere mood on our rest day today following the death of a French competitor in the early morning. We all had a very hard day yesterday, and he never awoke from his sleep.
Marathon day tomorow.
Will update you all after that,
See you all soon. Andy
