Well, I made it. The last day was a very hot 42.2km trot up and down steep cliffs and through lots of sand. I finished in about 5 hours and I'm waiting for the general classification to see if I'll finish in the top hundred. My tent is about 50 meters from the email tent and it took me almost 10 minutes to get here, using a very slow shuffle due to my feet. At least |'ve had the full experience, including a hot nail through my toe nail, which was pretty much the most painful experience of my life. But on the up side, there will be beer and wine with dinner tonight (yipee). Well, it's time to start heeling and spend some qality time in London before heading back to Qatar.

About Me

- Martin Taylor
- I was born in Doncaster, South-Yorkshire, England. Spent my childhood in a small village called Ravenfield. Eventually I moved to Holland to study. I ended up staying and started work as an IT consultant, met a girl and got married. I've now decided to step off the large corporate treadmill and become the CTO of an internet company in Qatar. In march 2006, during a moment of insanity (or was it clarity) I decided that I needed a better work life balance and signed up to run in the marathon des sables (look it up on google, it's mad) at the end of March 2009.
