After the long day, there where a restday, and it was so great to chill out in the camp, and have much more time to chat with people. In the evening the local volunteers found their instruments and started to play. Many of us crowded around the campfire, and it was a really great and relaxed atmostphere.

Yesterday day where the long day! And it was tough. The course there days have been hard on legs because of all the sand we have been running in. Camille thanks a lot for a tough intense training plan. I have send you many thoughts and happy smiles for all the long weekend training runs, you put into the training plan. And Ross I have found it quite fun to find then obstacles on the course, which you have trained my muscles for. To see what we have done in gym work out on a trail was dame fun

villads har en ven på besøg og har med rette pralet af verdens sejeste moster.
My sister so f...... Cool. I am really proud.
Tak for dine updates - det er så interessant at følge dig. Du må gå ud og holde foredrag eller skrive en bog. Nyd din hviledag - og så gir du den bare gas de sidste 9 km. Nyd festen i San pedro.
Glæder mig vildt til afrejse til HK - og tænker at din krop er så brugt at der bliver tid til hygge i Anton-Jane-tempo😃

Lene - du er det tætteste jeg vi komme på nogen sinde at møde en super helt! Det er skønt at læse dine updates, og høre om dine bedrifter. Af en eller anden grund, blev jeg helt rørt undervejs i sidste læsning. Syntes dine beskrivelser er så gode, at jeg næsten kan se det hele for mig. Nu er du snart i mål efter endnu en top præstation - nyd dit hvil, og sidste etape. Sender dig et kæmpe kram 😘

Hej seje Lene (var ved at skrive vilddyr øøøøhhh :-)..),
Kan lige forestille mig dit brede smil, mens du æder km efter km.
Kommer til at tænke på the sand dunes i Michigan, som jeg var så heldig at se i sommers - helt utroligt smukt, men jeg kunne sgu da aldrig drømme om, at hoppe ned eller løbe op af dem ....!
Ønsker dig fortsat god fornøjelse med udfordringerne.
Knus og kram

Hi Lene! We were thinking of you last night at track training. I laughed when you wrote about smiling every time there's an obstacle. Rest and recover well, and keep enjoying yourself. Well done on such a great achievement so far and have fun on the dunes.

Puha, 48 grader - det at flytte den ene fod foran den anden må i sig selv være en udfordring. Elsker elsker elsker dine updates. Kan lige forestille mig hvordan du glad og smilende løber derud ad.... Får lige et flash back til vores tøserunde for mange år siden, hvor vi fik skæld ud for, at cykle og grine og synge samtidigt 😃. Ville ønske jeg kunne stå på målstregen, og give dig et kæmpe kram for din ekstreme top-præstation. Fortsat god tur og sov godt - for ja, det ved jeg du både kan og gør!

48 degree heat is no joke. I hope you recovered well and enjoyed the landscape above the big sand dune today. It will be all but the 8-15km run into San Pedro by the time you read this (although on a rest day). Well done.

I know you don't write this blog for my pleasure but I sure do enjoy reading about the race! it's really fun to follow a race like this from a distance but told from the perspective of a participant.
today sounds incredibly fun and challenging = perfect for you :)
lots of breathing and stretching and chatting is what I'm imagining you doing right now. I can imagine you are enjoying so much being deeply connected to nature, using your body and meeting new people - a perfect 'holiday' haha. looking forward to next bit of news. Anna

Today where extremely fun and tough!!!
Starting with 8 km of constant river crossing. It was cold and a little challenging, because there was a lot of current in the water. Sometimes my feet got so cold that I where thinking when will my feet ever get warm again, but that is actually an total unnecessary concern, in a hot and dry dessert, takes only a few seconds. After that is was up, up and more up...and it was so much worse it because on the other side there where a huge sand dune, which we could fly down of - that was fun!!! If it had not been a race, then I think I would have walked up to try again!!!
Check points are the best, I am so impressed about the all the people standing out in the heat so cheer us up and give us water. Today there where a lot of service already at checked point, where Riitta stopped me to re-apply my sunscreen.
We are total 170 runners, which is great, because I can meet people all the the time. On the last 20 km, the course where less inspiring than the first part, so I entertained myself by spotting people in the horizon, and then see how fast I could get up to them.
I didn't finish before 3:30pm today, and I felt it had taken forever. At that time approx. 20% of the runners had finished (total of all men and ladies. So at least it was not only me being out there for so long. I where very exhausted when I finished, but now my body starts to fell normal again, and I am getting ready for another day in the trail. Feet are fine, and legs are ok.
Tak Rikke, dine 2,5 km er super godt, bare bliv ved med at bygge stille og roligt op.

Wow, what incredible scenery, very happy that your feet are holding up and please make sure you do reapply sunscreen liberally and stay properly hydrated, you're more than an inspiration! Looking forward to reading your next post and enjoy the race, I know you will! Great to see that all your training is paying off, what an inspiration!

Hihi - kan lige se for mig, at du vender om - mit i løbet - og tar en tur mere ned af sandbakken 😃. Godt at høre at fødderne er fine, var lige et øjeblik bekymret for kombinationen af vand og sand....! Håber turen i dag, bliver lige så oplevelsesrig som de sidste par dage - god tur 😘. Knus Rikke

Back in a dessert - jubiiiiii
Everything is so different from the race in Gobi and it seems to be just as interesting and fun. Already meet a lot of great people! And the scenery here is really fantastic.
I am extremely humble about this race because the conditions are so different from everything I have tried before. HR is so much higher than when I run in HK and I get tired faster. - so yes Anna, there have been some work done on calming down myself. At the same time everything is just so amazing and beautiful.
I have been total overwhelmed about the support, which I have got from colleagues, friends, families and trainers before going here, thanks a million! It means a lot......Also thanks a lot for all the comments on this blog.
Today where a 36 km run, starting in 3200 m altitude, and running down to 2600 m altitude. With some running up and downs. I thought it would be an easy start, but I had to rethink that during the day, It started very cold, it is just freezing in the morning...So it was keeping a lot of cloth on during race briefing and then a fast repack of bag. Very soon after race start it got fantastic temperature and my speed where great -so yes, Katherine, running like the wind J. And I had fun running in the Canyons and crawling under a fallen rock, it was all really great. But, then it became extremely hot, and the run with high HR started to feel tough, so it was more running like a cloud = moving very calm. At that time I where luckily quite close to camp.
The welcome at the camp, where just fantastic! One of the volunteer took my backpack, asked me to sit in the shadow and drink cold water, and then she carried my backpack down to my tent. That was better than winning in lotto......
Now I have had some hours of rest and getting ready for tomorrow, and runners keep coming in, after having many more hours in the dry heat. That must be really tough.
Tomorrow a lot of cool down is waiting for us with 8km running with constant river crossing, and that water is just surprisingly cold - looking forward to get on the trail again.

Hi Lene!
Sounds beautiful and challenging and exciting! Andy says hello as well and to take care of your feet, with the river crossing! I told him you will, it's part of the plan. :) He still wants me to specifically tell you to stop and take any sand out of your shoes and rinse your socks if you get sand in your shoes during a river crossing.
I wish you a wonderful day, and an even better evening. Happy stretching!
We both enjoy reading your blog very much.
In Hong Kong you are missing a T3, and thunderstorms. It is fun for down wind paddling, but not upwind in 30+k!

I hope you had a blast running down the gigantic sand dune today and are now reading this camped beside the two shallow salt lakes. I am living vicariously through you right now. Around 30ks of flat tomorrow and 10 slow and steady up the shale mountain and then the false impression camp is closes you take a circuitous route home. Atacama.
