Marathon Day

Today was marathon day, and we raced. we completed the course in 5 hours 3 minutes and jumped up in the general rankings.  yesterday we rested after the long stage with our tent mates and enjoyed a can of pepsi compliments of the organizers. we will be entertained by the Paris Opera tonight for our last night in camp. we wont miss the sand and wind, but we will miss the friends we found in our tent mates. tomorrows stage is short, but major sand dunes the size of mountains. the largest sand dunes in Morocco. it will be good to be finished as we have feet that ache every moment of the day and our backs hurt from carrying the packs all day. we have covered 134 miles in the last 5 days and our bodies feel every movement. Thanks again for all the emails and news from home. it really makes the day. We will see you all soon. we plan to enjoy tomorrow and have dinner with our new friends from around the world as we celebrate completing this incredible challenge.
