Survived hardest run ever. 1st 14km high sanddunes - walked all with Josh. Shoes great - not much Sand on feets. 2nd part was across a moon like, black rock plateau - HOT but I ran to get out of it & left Josh behind. Last part was bloody sanddunes again, did not eat enough & Backpack got really painful - had 11kg. 500m before finish I had to lay down, fainted & some kind runner stayed with me, slowly came to again & after a drink & some gel I managed to stagger to finish. 5.15 hrs, Josh 1 hr later. Was lucky to find an extra waterbottle which I drank on the spot. After 1,5 l of recovery drink and food I feel much better. Will have to go slower 2moro & eat more.Runners still come in now - 10 hrs after start. 38 km to go 2moro, more dunes, more heat but it is all fun, right? Check offical site for results & roadmap.
Love to everone from Sahara.

Hey Markus. Great work. Nice to see your update. Sounds like hard yakka those sand dunes.
I hope your feet feel refreshed after a few hours sleep. I note you have already put a huge lead on the backmarkers.
Today's words of wisdom: Slow and steady wins the race!
Good luck tomorrow.
