Just completed stage 4, which I will nick name “Stairways to Hell”, Long with lots of sandy hills, again fantastic landscape. Started strong and felt good from yesterday, but 12 k into the run, the several days use of gels, bars, freze dried food, electrolytes, etc. hit me and got a very bad stomach cramp and felt like I had to trough up for the rest of the stage. Tried to get off the electrolytes, as to minimize acid in my stomach, but the energy level clearly went down and the problem was to stay hydrated in the burning heat. Got a pill from the medical tent, as to try to keep food in me, as I will need it for the long day tomorrow. The rest of the body is ok and I am surpriced that my feet is keeping up, but thanks god for that.
Once again thanks for all the messages, they do really help…….so keep sending J
Not sure about the strategy for the 86K tomorrow, but will make my decision when I wake up based on how I feel…..but completing it I will !!
Fe’ Fu’me………I am ready J

I have prepared as much as possible and thanks Wilson and partly Edurado for trying to fit in all the various training sessions into my normal travel schedule, now the rest is up to me.
My family have supported me greately (once again :)) and I look forward to see Helle at the finishing line next Saturday.
