Only 10km to go tomorrow!

What a great day out in Mongolia. 5x serious river crossings, lovely forest and camping next to river.

Of cause we all jump in the river on arrival

Been a tough 42km, legs are seriously heavy and lots of blisters, but all under cntrol.

Dis net alles genade van Bo!

Dankie vir al die booskappe.  Aan al my hardloop-maatjies….julle is elke dag saam met my.

Thanks for all the messages…I really need it today.

Long day was looooooong indeed, but I was very fortunate to run with Albert (Spanish) and Simone( Danish ) the whole day. They pulled me through the bad patches

My stomach was very bad between cp2 and cp3….

Today lovely to relax in this incredible beautiful place. I do not have enough food…. Stage 5 42km going to be a challenge.

Otherwise I am making wonderful friends and loving the vibe

 

Lots of love

Amanda you are kicking some serious butt out there. To finish 4th overall on the Long March is just phenomenal! Hope you enjoyed your well deserved rest. The 4 Deserts medal awaits you!

Dag 1 is gedoen, was “net” 36km, maar dit het baie verder gevoel. Seker deel van die “old-age” ding.

Lekker inge-settle in die kamp-lewe, 5x van ons in ‘n tent, ek en Angeles, my spaanse kamermaat, dan ‘n Switser, ‘n Brit wat in Madrid bly en ‘n Kanadees

Amanda you are flying! I am so proud to see you up there giving the men a run for their money. Hope you're having fun. Amazing to think that you'll be a member of the 4 Deserts Club soon. It's been a long journey but we've loved being part of it. I am just sorry I am there to cheer you on in person - it just meas that you'll have to plan another RacingThePlanet / 4 Deserts endeavor .... haha.

Hi Amanda, ek kyk kort kort om te sien wat gaan aan. Bly jy het die eerste dag goed gedoen. Dit lyk heeltemal anders as van die ander wat jy al gehardloop het, lyk na mooi scenery. Net 36 km! Lekker rus en hardloop more. Juanita
