Desert Marathon 2009. I was there. Ugh. And I'm doing it again, I must be bonkers.

I DNFd 2009. Collapsed at 20 mile point and was withdrawn from the race by the medics. Hoping for a better result this time round :)

I think it was a PB for me at the time too, but I wasn't impressed with the lack of water situation, especially as the first one was dry!

Hmmm, I'm going to have to pack suncream now, aren't I? Since I'm flying up with only hand luggage that leaves room for one less gel :( And the only small suncream I could find was SPF50. The good news is I'm sure to sweat most of it off in the heat :D
