Freeeeeeaaakin Freeeeeezing..... Start gun, 09.00 - 36km Route around bivouac due to wet and new location problems.. Desert or moon like landscape, endless – no other words for it… 3 check points and 3 great stages… Today was hard for me, I was convinced Bruce and I were going to run together but today we split and ran our seprate races which was cool in a way as I would experince my own race but the best thing about running long distance events is having a mate there to share it with..... But, we decided best to run seperate, so we did!!! Being an unexperienced long distance runner (in the desert) I took it easy...
The day finished with a hard but relatively short stint in some dunes. I was pleased to be finished and as soon as I did I got my legs elevated ad went into my uncontrollable shaking mode, nice!!!
I had taken around 5 & 1/2 hours. Everyone felt pretty beat up after day two and it was reassuring that almost everyone had found the days course hard.
Tomorrow was the longest stage of the race a massive 91km (the longest in the history of the race). By far the longest stage in the MDS's 24 year history!
