We are at the last CP on the hike. Can't continue because of a 6pm cut-off at finish, which is 15km away. It would take us longer than the 4hrs max allowed. It took us 4hrs from the last CP to here. We have to be back at the finish for 6pm to get the bus to the start of the paddle.
Saw Mzanzi before CP5. They had two optionals and still had to rest for 1h 15 balance of the compulsory 8hr rest. They won't make it here in time either. I chatted to Alex and he confirms that this year the first two days felt 4x harder than last year.
Yesterday was rough - going from a 95km bike ride from hell onto a desert trek. Legs starting felt like legs at the end. Lizzelle V didn't start with us. We will see her at camp later. Zelle and Steve are great. It's frikkin hot in the desert today. Worse than before Maybe it's me getting soft? Nice to get confirmation from Alex that I'm not completely out of my tree. Because of loonng days we haven't had much of a social vibe in camp either. Which I think made the race special before.
