the beginning

It's been a rather long road to get to the Sahara 2012.

Hours and hours of training. Weekends were no longer for socialising, but for running.
But I don't regret a single minute of it. There is nothing like spending hours on the trails, running, walking, crawling and climbing.
And now it's showtime!

I see the Sahara Race as the beginning. The beginning of fantastic things to come.
Everyone says that the race will be life changing.....maybe that's why I'm doing these kind of races.
Constantly looking for something, and deep down hoping I will never find it.

Everything is set for the Sahara. My bags are pack and ready to go.

my pack weighs 8kg......so much for 7kg.
the only way I can get to 7kg, is if I get rid of some food.
I'm sure I'll do some repacking in Egypt with the help of my fellow runners.

I'm so SO looking forward to this adventure and seeing my two friends Warren and Timo again.

Ok, one or 2 loose ends to tie up......chat soon via the 4 Deserts website.

I'll be back. With my medal.
