Namib Race (2008) blog posts from Mark Dahl

16 July 2008 12:04 pm (GMT+08:00) Beijing, Chongqing, Hong Kong, Urumqi

I am looking to complete in the Sahara 2008 event. I am based in Hong Kong, and was wondering whether there were other people from this part of the world competing?

Would be great to hook up with a couple of people for the odd traning session / chat.

Anyone interested?
