It was a cold, cold night. My sleeping bag was not designed for a very strong wind and arctic temporatures! So, I slept about 30 minutes. On the positive side, | had another good run today. It was 36kms of mixed dunes, hills and flat with a really evil last 2kms of dunes. I finished in about 4hrs 27 and I'll see later if I've maintained my position of 103 (I was more surprised than anyone that I almost made it into the top 100). Tomorrow is the long stage and I have no idea how to approach it. I'll just do what hurts the least. At the moment everything hurts, but that will get better when I cook.

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.
