Marathon des Sables: I made it!

So I made it. Thank goodness. And part of the reason I did was so that I didn't have to come back and blog about my failed mission!

It was an epic adventure. Equally amazing and awful. As time goes on the horrendousness of it has disappeared and I am left with an overriding sense that I did enjoy it. Parts of it anyway!

I'm going to post updates on each stage over this week and next, followed by some handy hints and tips I learnt along the way, and what worked and what didn't in terms of training and kit. I hope it will be useful and a good read for past and future Marathon des Sablers!
