Gobi March (2011) blog posts from Innogen Hall

01 July 2011 02:11 am (GMT+08:00) Beijing, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Urumqi

Long March done! Got to camp just after 7am this morning having set off at 8am yesterday. It might sound pathetic, but I’ve honestly never been in so much pain in my life! Muscles and core body don’t feel too bad but my feet are in shreds. Every single step of those 23 hours hurt with blisters on toes, side of feet, heals and across the bottom plus bruising (might as well do it properly!) It got to 50 degrees again and people struggled in the heat, but I’ve never felt ill at any point as just drank and drank every 5 mins, plus maybe all the hot yoga (at 42 degree heat) I did before the trip has helped. I started the first 8 hours with two guys I was with the day before but by the third checkpoint they wanted a 2 hour stop as weren’t feeling great, and I’d for a long time been walking/running ahead and either waiting or running back, and to start walking on my feet after stopping was even more painful. I was then with a couple of girls for the middle section, but again tough as they couldn’t run due to injury/pain, and running a bit was giving my feet relief. So I guess the highlight of my night was at 1am being lain on my stomach in the overnight medical tent at point 5 to have a two medics each lancing and dressing each of my feet. The girls then wanted to stay a bit longer and rest but mentally I felt strong and wanted to push on, particularly to get to camp before the sun got hot. So I headed off through the ruins listening to the messages on my ipod which helped a lot. I got lost around 0230 but soon another competitor appeared and it turned out to be Len, a Canadian guy from my tent. So the last two stages this morning I’ve had Len for company who amongst other achievements has climbed the seven summits and completed around 250 ultra runs so great to have a mentally strong person with me. Len tried Gobi in 2009 and had to withdraw due to blisters, so is back to break it and understands the pain. We saw the flags to show the finish at the top of a steep hill which I practically ran up as knowing there’s an end to the agony was very motivating! Off to sleep now, and it feels a bit surreal at the moment. There are still around 30 competitors out there, so just hoping people make the cut off. I just need to do around 7 miles on Sat and then it’s all been worth it. I thought this would be physically demanding, which I guess it has been but mentally I’m exhausted trying to keep focused on the end goal and at times wondering why I’m doing this…but I do feel stronger for it.I’ve just read all your emails/blog comments from the last two days and it’s really picked me up as pretty shattered. Thanks for your belief and can’t wait to finish this off and celebrate with you xx

Congrats, awesome job. I am from the flight crew that had dinner with you at the Ngong house in Nairobi. Dreux had your card and looked up the results and forwarded them on to the rest of us. Your determination must be incredible! I hope you are all healed by now and can enjoy your accomplishments. Take Care.

what an amasing daughter I have have just read your stage 5 you are so brave and you have almost made this challenge. Andy Murray lost to Nedal in the semi final. Nedal faces Djockovich on Sunday the world one and two. while you have been away I have had my implants so I am looking moonfaced as my face in swollen. I thought of you in the sand as Prof Hare drilled my jaw I felt you had the harder option I was at least lying down! Enjoy the celebrations lots of love from all the family MumDad L H and the two Ts

Hi Inny, Lovely to hear from you. Very well done on pushing through and finishing the long march. I am so very proud, and can’t wait for you to come home. ,,,,,,,,,Today, I ran 8.0 miles, and it nearly killed me. Have aching feet, and legs are sore! Any tips would be welcomed, as I’m on my feet all day tomorrow at Henley Regatta. ........I hope the final leg is a breeze, and that you let your hair down tomorrow at the award ceremony. Don't loose that medal, you don't wanna have to go back to the start to earn another one (or do you?) Enjoy the Pizza, Beer and Kebabs, you deserve it .....Call me the second you get your phone! All my love, Andy xx.......p.s. don't forget the coffee!

Posted On: 01 Jul 2011 03:44 pm

My love my love you are so nearly there and I can’t even begin to stress how incredibly well you’ve done. You certainly have strength of a bear, speed of a puma not to mention master of magic spells and illusion! I don’t have anything much to report form this end I had a BBQ last night my first of the summer which was lovely next time you come to Norwich I’ll definitely be firing it up : ) Also me, you and Sam need a get together again very soon. No gossip to report either well none I can post here! ; ) Work extended my contract and have given my two years not sure if I’ve told you that. I want you to watch a series called Luther on BBC ! when you get back its brilliant and a bit scary at times.....Glastonbury looked awesome last weekend I was very jealous and that’s another one we need to add to the list , I’ve only been once before but it was about 4 times the size of V (maybe not such a good thing with my sense of direction and tendencies to get lost). I hope you really enjoy the final part of your challenge its immense and you’ve been amazing. Lots of love Xxx ps little number riddle for you to ponder if you want your mind to wander at any point. How can you add eight 8's to get the number 1,000? (only use addition.)

Posted On: 01 Jul 2011 02:41 pm

Oh Inny ... I could cry reading your account of stage 5. Very well done you strong woman... I just hope Andy Murray takes half of your PMA into todays semi-final with him !! :-) Enjoy every step tomorrow. X

Posted On: 01 Jul 2011 02:25 pm

Hey again... lovely to hear you so upbeat... Sounds like you have been your 'inspirational' self to those around you... I can't tell you how proud of you everyone is.... Enjoy tomorrow lovely.... Kx

...is how much I've drunk today. 12ish hours on sand dunes in a lot of pain from blisters but I got here in the end! It's a bit like a war zone here with people vomiting and on IV drips everywhere, so very glad to say I'm feeling good. My feet hate me but the rest of me is still stong. Tomorrow is the toughie as it's the 50 miler and going through the night..so if all goes to plan no blog from me tomorrow as I'll be driving on.

So sand dunes are tough. Running down is quite fun as it's a bit like running down heavy powder snow, but where your feet are already torn up it hurts a lot. Going up them is like being on a stepper, just with the termastat on full blast. Over the day I've taken my trainers and gaiters off around 20 times to tip out the sand of my shoes and socks, but the patching job from the medical team plus painkillers has got me back so very thankful. After the second checkpoint we were told to buddy up for safety as it got to around 50 degrees I'm told, so I was with 3 other competitors and I think we helped each other keep going and get back. I think the plan will be to try and do the same tomorrow and certainly going through the night. We can take an overnight stop but if my body will let me I want to enjoy the cooler temperatures.

There's been no blog or emails uploaded so sorry if anyones sent messages as I've not seen them but I will plough on and try and finish this and thanks again for all the encouragement....xx

...is that is doesn't hurt!!! Feet are a mess thanks to five water crossings this morning. We started the day walking through river beds for lots of kms which was fantastic in a lot of ways, as the cold water brought relief to sore feet and calves and the view was brilliant.. I took the Sandhurst boys advice of taking shoes and socks off for each and drying feet on the other side (if it works for the British army then it's good enough for me!) But the current of the water was pretty strong and over the rocky river bed with my left foot still recovering from a sprain, I thought I was going to go over. So for the fifth crossing which was the longest I took the decision to keep shoes on as I thought if I mess my ankle up then it's definitely game over. From the river bed were I think 7kms up hill, which wasn't too bad until my left calf started to really hurt, and then the foot pain kicked in.. Long story short I've been in medical tents 4 times today, the most painful being when I was laid down on my stomach to have a needle put through the middle of my left foot a number of times to drain the massive blood blister!! So I have to admit to crying a bit at that point on the medical director who was dishing out the treatment, but amazingly that's now one part of my feet that doesn't hurt!! (she later told me she was very impressed I could still walk when she passed me in a jeep so that made me feel so much better). Now not much of my feet can be seen for taping, having had a number of other blisters dealt with. Calf still a problem but my compression bandage is doing a good job. Rest of my body is sore, but less so than after a marathon so physically still strong despite it being 45 degrees this afternoon. Also just heard from medical team that they have no aftersun so will be covered up head to toe tomorrow as the thought of being burnt too would just be too awful.
Thanks so much to you all for your messages - you have no idea just how much it helps, especially with tomorrow being sand dune day!! Being woken up at 3am to leave at 4am to be bused 3hours to start the race...not ideal for tired legs..
Andy/Bob/Alpa/Paul - you guys got me home today - I listened to your messages a few times, you made me laugh, cry and smile lots -thank you, thank you, thank you (you even got me running again after the medical tent after 6 hours on my feet so you are all truely wonderful and I can't wait to have a beer with you).
Thanks you all xxxx

Hey Inny, yet another great effort but 23 hours, seriously, can't even begin to imagine what you have put yourself through and now almost to the end, the final stretch, just think of that day at the spa that you have got coming up when you get home next week. An amazing effort and one that will never be forgotten by anyone who knows you.

Inno just thinking of you in stage five if you are there on this very long long walk jog. From the email today you have been given water melon at one of the stops. Just hang in there. Andy rang me today to reassure us that you have trained and trained and are very determined so as said before we are gunning for you. Weather beautiful here Murray is through to the semis at Wimbledon Federer is out Lots of love from all the family Mum Dad L and H plus T and T Ching

Posted On: 29 Jun 2011 09:03 pm

Innogen, Veronica, Penelope Hall, I love you! Now, did you get the coffee in the village … seriously babe we are all out! ……So, enough about you, more about me…. ….I got up 3 minutes earlier today, and took a 3min car ride, to do my 2.6m run. It’s going well, considering this was stage 4, I have a few niggles here and there, but all things considered mustn’t grumble. Feet aren’t pretty, but I don’t ever recall them winning any beauty contests before anyways! … ….So as you have the long “silk-road” march tomorrow of 50 miles, I’m going to push it and go for the big 5.0 miles myself! Relax, don’t worry about me, I think I’ll be fine, and will play in the Caversham kiddie’s sandpit later, as it’s apparently the ‘dune’ thing these days. Not 100% sure about stripping naked and washing off in the Thames afterwards with other random joggers! Keep smiling Treacle Tartlet, you are WELL over half way there. Breathe in and enjoy the scenery, and play my message again (esp from 1:42-3:46). We love you, and miss you, and can’t wait to see you to see what sort of a state your feet are in! Nirvana awaits you on Monday remember. The beers are on me, IF you can walk to the bar! Bye for now, and thinking of you always, Andy xx

Posted On: 29 Jun 2011 08:58 pm

Sounds like one might need a G and T. When you have completed this nice little jog, you might want to visit us so we can hit the booze and the bars to celebrate!! Seriously impressed, reading your blog makes me appreciate my feet and both my legs. Good luck, see you when you get home xxxx

Posted On: 29 Jun 2011 05:58 pm

Inny.. have just read some of the horror stories of stage 4 on other competitors blogs ( I so need to get a job...I have no idea who these people are !!) It sounds like hell. I hope you are mentally strong even though I imagine your body is shattered. Stay strong tomorrow and when your body is screaming stop, remember you are the most determined ,focused person I have ever met !! Denise X

Posted On: 29 Jun 2011 11:49 am

Sounds like you are having proper fun..................in a weird way but you know what I mean...............go girl go!!!!!! We are all thinking of you in the office & cheering you on - I'm wearing shorts and flippers in support. Ignore the pain, grit the teeth and battle on! Who needs nice feet anyway! xxx

Posted On: 29 Jun 2011 07:13 am

Wow...you are absolutely amazing.... Over half way there ;o) Keep it up lovey.... Big love, Katie x

27 June 2011 01:59 am (GMT+08:00) Beijing, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Urumqi

We woke up just after 6 this morning to a heavy mist with minimal visibility and that turned into lots of cold rain and wind. So we were due to start at 8am and that got pushed back and back to 12pm, cutting out the begining of the original route as that was going 500m further up where visibility would be worse. So everyone got soaked, especially our shoes from the river crossing in the last 4km but after yet more hours warming up in the tent the sun has just burst through so madly drying clothes in prep for tomorrow (which also starts with river crossings!) But today was much easier terrain than yesterday so back in three hours and happy as took it easy. A few people took wrong turns today and I nearly followed at one point and then realised in time. Luckily the backup team appeared in a 4X4 so I sent them up the mountain to tell the other competitors to get them back on track.

We're camped up on a ridge over a valley and river bed so the views are stunning...I can say that now as in the wet it felt like pure misery! I"ve realised that one of my motivations for running is the things I look forward to when the work it done. I know this because today I had a quandry over rushing to get to camp in the miserable weather, somewhere between getting out of the wet, but then having nothing to do when I got there! (no different from anyone else as to have more to do would involve carrying more and that's just not an option over this many days, or at least not a good one). But it's been great chatting to other competitors..and hearing about their adventures...in our tent alone that covers Everest, Ironmen comps and other running races like MDS, Attacama, Saraha and UTMB.

My aim still remains to complete this and have a big beer afterwards. I've had a lot of advice from people who've done other events like this to say play the long game and make sure you can finish, rather than burning out, not looking after your feet and so on and then not getting the all important medal at the end! So not doing as much running as I planned but the altitude and the backpack are mean. I've also found running over some of the rocks in the riverbeds and roads so hard, especially having sprained my ankle not so many weeks ago as your feet and toes get bashed so trying not to hurt anything that will stop me finishing as a lot of miles still to go!

There's no satilite signal here at the moment, so if anyone has sent anything in the last 24 hrs then I've not seen it, but M&D, Andy and Denise thanks for your messages and you all keep me strong as ever xx

Today has been incredibly tough...hills hills and more hills with 10kg backpack, heat and altitude thrown in. We kicked off at 8am and some people are still out there so probably not having the best day either. Even the fastest runners took an hour longer than predicted, and with the terrain they still did incredibly well.

It was more like trecking than running due to the terrain and altitude. I questioned why I am here a number of times, and when I reached camp found that many others were feeling the same! Saying that nothing beats that run at the end of a race when you know that everything will stop hurting pretty soon after you stop...and then you remember you got to do it again tomorrow, and shoulders and feet pretty sore from today. Medical tent have tapped up all of my toes for blister prevention so fingers crossed that works. But as ever with this crazy sport, tomorrow is another day...now at 2250m and climbing to 2600m tomorrow then dropping down but over rolling hills with some water crossings thrown in! The setting is awesome (I can say that now I've recovered a bit) and it's a great atmosphere here in camp and out on the course where at least three people offered me one of their trecking poles on the very steep downhills... for those reading this that I skied with..parts were like going down The Face, just will a lack of skies and ice! (still not entirely sure which was worse but reckon that Alpe D'Heuz might have one that one but you get the idea, except we never had to walk up it first!)

So here's hoping tomorrow is a little kinder as today made The Grizzy look like The Cub race and I realised for the first time that I don't take the easist routes in life...which I think will be less of a suprise to some reading this! Will sleep very well I think..

The journey to China has started!! Well it started months ago in fact, but first flight done and just two more to go before my little challenge....
Now as ready as I'll ever be..watch this space to see if I'm ready enough..in the meantime I can't wait to get going..
If you want to email me during the race with encouraging comments/thoughts to keep me on track that would be awesome and you can track all our progress. But to be clear, completion is the aim here and anything more than that is a bonus.. Oh and to meet some other crazy people who like this running in the desert thing!

Hey Inny, awesome effort yet again and half way through the week. Hope the blood blisters haven't caused you too much pain! Keep going and in terms of inspirational quotes, remember that 'pain is weakness leaving the body'! Hope you are managing to enjoy the scenery and sights

Posted On: 28 Jun 2011 07:56 pm

Hi Inny, CONGRATULATIONS on knocking off stage 3. You are now half-way there! I do hope that Peach Village is proving to be a worthy dwelling? If you could pick up some coffee while you are on your Uyghur Village run to the Turpan, that’d be handy, as I used up that last good stuff. Everyone back home is so proud of you, and full of admiration for your perseverance - and also your remarkable ability to dodge being in any of the 300+ photos on the website! However, you made breaking news today, which was met with excitement at my office when I read it out for all to hear!! Denise well done with your inspirational quotes. Inny, how about this one,” Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing! “ Best of luck in with your daring adventure at the Basin tomorrow, carry the shell for me sweetheart xx Delphie, if you could give me a call sometime, please do!

Posted On: 28 Jun 2011 05:11 pm

You are almost half way. Unbelievable Do hope you are enjoying yourself hard bed damp clothes biltong to eat no shower you are amasing. Good news here Hereward has got through to the second year. He sends lots of love from Serbia. We are all thinking of you and also send our love Mum and Dad

Posted On: 28 Jun 2011 03:35 pm

Inny you are amazing, I admire you and am so proud (not to mention a bit in awe ) of you. Well done on completing the stages so far..... I bet if Titania’s Oracle had told you way back when we were sitting on your bed at Wood Street that you would be doing this challenge you would have thrown it in the bin! And let’s face it we couldn’t even decide what to have for breakfast with out whipping it out for a quick consultation! Anyway something to make you smile remember when we went to that snooker fancy dress party and I went as an actual plant and you a fowl.....always makes my chuckle  love you loads you can do it Kato!!! Xxx

Posted On: 28 Jun 2011 01:41 pm

Hey Inny...Found you! Cant tell you how proud everyone is to have you as a mate... you are doing so incredibly well.... Hope the hammie and blood blisters are feeling better... Have fun lovey... Katie x

Posted On: 28 Jun 2011 10:54 am

Well Inny...That's stage 2 and 3 completed...serious respect !!! I was thinking of you as I ran through hot and humid Thorndon. I expect Creaseys will seem a mere ant hill to you now !! Look after that calf strain..I'm just hoping that Andys completed the gardening challenge without injury :-) Enjoy the scenery, the camp today sounds breathtaking....and todays inspirational quote...' Nothing worth having is easy.' Thinking of you..Denise X

Posted On: 27 Jun 2011 09:36 pm

Hi Inny, Congratulations on finishing stage 2. My parents were so full of praise, and particularly thrilled to discover that you finished only a few minutes behind Captains’ Sandhurst. We are all so very proud, especially given the Gobi desert vipers (which I gather bit someone, per an Aussie guy’s blog!!). When you told me that the scenery in Gobi was indescribable, I didn’t realize that was due to the FOG! You also said that the climates would be different over there and didn’t realize just how right you were…I did today’s 2.6 miles in 30c heat, with beautiful sunshine, hot, humid, and not a cloud in the sky. I gather you guys started 4 hours late due to fog, on a revised course, and finished early due to rain!! Keep going darling, push through the pain, and enjoy every second. The feet will heal in no time; the memories will last a lifetime! xx P.S Rafa is through to the Quarters.

Posted On: 27 Jun 2011 04:33 pm

Inno well done on finishing the second stage. Hope your bedding is not too damp. I have just walked round portsmouth harbour for four hours quite exhausted!!...Andy Murray is still in Wimbledon...the Williams sisters are out...it willbe an intersting womens finals. We all send our love Mum Dad Leander Hereward and those pesky cats.

Posted On: 27 Jun 2011 04:20 pm

Check you out rocking the desert challenge off the scale!!!! Thinking of you and sending my love I know your mind will be as strong as ever even if your body is probably wondering what did it ever did to you........ It's probably not the done thing but I thought there’s only so much thinking about life and contemplating deep stuff you can do So maybe I ought to give you something else to ponder on whilst you are running..........I’m looking for the film, the actor and the year “Course, that might not do any good you see nobody's missing a porpoise. It's a dolphin that's been taken. The common harbor porpoise has an abrupt snout, pointed teeth and a triangular thoracic fin. While the bottlenose dolphin, or Tursiops truncates, has an elongated beak, round cone shaped teeth and a serrated dorsal appendage. But I'm sure you already knew that. That's what turns me on about 'cha, your attention to detail.” love & support to you always Bob x

Congrats on managing 8:08 in the 90’ heat (interesting as 808 state were a band in the 90’s weren’t they?) Best of luck taking a walk in the footsteps of the Kazakh’s. Sounds like fun. While you’ve been doing your little walk, I have been doing hardcore gardening during a mini UK heat-wave. Keep going treacle tartlet, we are all right behind you. (Actually I’m sat in a chair watching TV, with a PC on my lap, and a beer in my other hand, but you get the sentiment I hope) xx

Posted On: 26 Jun 2011 04:32 pm

Well Done Inny !!! Stage 1 ..tick !! Hope the foot is feeling fine and you get some well deserved sleep. "Pain is temporary; Pride lasts forever." Good luck for tomorrow..Denise X

Posted On: 26 Jun 2011 01:15 pm

Inno well done 8.08.21 we have been thinking about you in that heat. It is 32 here today and its very hot. Lots of love Mum and Dad

Posted On: 26 Jun 2011 01:05 pm

WOW, 8 hours and going strong, great effort for day 1 Inny. Hope you're having a well deserved rest under the stars!

Posted On: 26 Jun 2011 12:56 pm

Hey Inny, you must be in day two of the challenge by now I think. Best of luck to you, don't know how you are going to have the energy to write a blog after a day's trek but look forward to reading about it. Whilst you were walking the desert I was eating lots of meat at BBQ at the Boyle's. Stay safe and enjoy the challenge.

Posted On: 25 Jun 2011 05:50 pm

Inny Thinking about you....remember the mindfulness bit and try to enjoy every moment. Hope the backpack is not too heavy we all send our love Mum and Dad

Posted On: 25 Jun 2011 02:17 pm

Hi Inny, hopefully you are resting up nicely for the big challenge starting tomorrow. I on the other hand am into Day 3 of my mini-marathon challenge!! (2.62 miles running each day) I’m blister free, feet are holding up well and feel pretty good, despite the torrential rain on Days 1+2. Indeedeee, A little known fact, “Gobi” means “waterless place” in old Mongolian/Hann Chinese. I could do with some of that terrain you lucky thing Princy!! Stay safe, and enjoy the scenery. Andy xx

Hi Inny...I imagine by the time you read this you will getting ready to leave for camp...adrenalin racing,my thoughts are with you. Todays inspirational quote ..."Mental will is a muscle that needs exercise, just like the muscles of the body." -Lynn Jennings! Much love..Denise X
