I'm off on another adventure soon. It'll be my 3rd time working for Racing The Planet ... this time in the Sahara Desert where it's currently 37 degrees! People ask me if I'm running the race? Do I look mad? 150 miles self supported through the desert? No thanks! Volunteering is enough hard work for me & I'm really excited to be going to help, support & cheer the runners on. The photo is one of the checkpoints that will be home each day as I clock times, give out water & generally encourage some awesome people to get to the next camp each day!
Those of you who follow my blogs will probably recacll that as a volunteer you are also self suficient for 7 days. I'll be eating freeze dried food as hot water is provided for meals, but there is no water for washing - so we all hum nicely together! I'll be keeping my hat on till I can get in a shower to wash my hair, although strangely it's never too bad. Bed is a tent in camp each night with a sleeping bag & mat.
I consider myself very lucky to be chosen again to work on another desert race - it's a priviledge to watch people push themselves to their limits each day & achieve something truly amazing .
I'm looking forward to seeing the Valley of the Whales, & of course The Pyramids at the finish line.
So enjoy your healthy eating everyone while I'm away & think of me - I'll be craving fresh food like mad!
Bev :-)
