Hi Guys, Finished the long day (80km) at 1:30am it was a very hard and finishing was very emotional. We have arrived at a sauna camp so got to have a shower finally – The best feeling ever...I have slept most of the day as my muscles are so sore but no permanent injuries so very happy just blisters and sore quads. 12km tomorrow then we are off to a restaurant for lunch – cant wait to east something that is not a freeze dried meal. Thanks for following my progress, love you all. Bonny xxx

Tomorrow will be interesting as its apparently mainly dirt road. Everyone is hobbling around camp at night, so I don’t think it will be a very fast take off at the start line. Wish they had a massage tent here, they would be very busy
Hump day is over – so ill see how I go tomorrow.

Hi everyone, Stage 2 completed today. Felt great, not so technical today, 38km done with lots of dusty road and not a lot of elevation. More photos of reindeers
I came 107/135 yesterday so very happy with that. I haven’t got todays results yet...so you,ll have to wait for tomorrows blog. Found my toothbrush & comb today so my tentmates are happy & dipped my feet in the lake which was nice. It was far to cold to go the whole way in and not enough sunshine get anything dry by tomorrow.
Its a little overcast today and still no rain so fingers crossed for another good day tomorrow. Ive heard on the grape vine that its going to be another hard one. Shoulders are getting sore and I have blister on each of my pinky toes which I dealt with with a safety pin and some paper tape
Looking forward to my Dehydrated spaghetti Bolognese for dinner. Thanks for all the emails, I love logging In at the cybertent each evening and reading them.
Chat tomorrow, Bon xx
