Nearly time to go

It's nearly time. Panic, apprehension, gnawing pain in the stomach. I'm feeling all of these right now. I can't work out if they're because I just quit my new job in Qatar due to various issues with the owner and I'm unemployed for the first time ever, or if it's because I'm about to spend way too long in the desert with a bunch of crazy people. Well, whatever the answer, it's time and I'm ready. During the event, I'll be updating my blog on a daily basis (just allowed one email a day) and you can leave me a message by going to http://www.darbaroud.com and going to the "write to competitor" section and look for my race number, 745.
