The Night Before
It is now 8:30pm the night before we travel into the desert for the ultimate footrace. we have met some amazing people and athletes from all over the world. all of us confined to this small city in Morocco. the locals have been very friendly and helpful with any needs we may have. It has been hard to keep up with news from home though, no TV and internet is touch and go. we have managed to read the tribune star on line the last two days. after tonight we may not have any access to the internet for some time. i understand the lines at the bivouc can be quite long at times and if we are to tired to write we may hold off a day.
the race does not start until Sunday. we will not know the exact distance or route until tomorrow when we have boarded the bus heading to the desert. the contrast in temperature from day to night is dramatic. it gets windy and cold at night. the sleeping bags will be welcome relief from the cold. sorry this message is a little scattered. We have a race to concentrate on...Thanks for everyones thoughts and prayers. we plan to stick together and accomplish this event. thanks again and we will talk from the desert.
