Here is an extract from Paul Wolfe's blog update - Paul is the Race leader.
Just had 8 straitght days of racing..3 of which were on Sudanese washboard ,thorn laden and rutted , paths used occasionally by small trucks and Donkey carts hauling hay, water or whatever.. The temperature has quickly risen to 110-120 F in the PMs..We all arrive at camp in various degrees of dehydration. Some have even gotten lost for short periods of time. They come in delirious...Flats are common even with the most bullet proof tires..some having up to 10 flats in a day .... these thorns have pierced shoes...trying to find the hole in the tube, patching the tube ,locating the evil thorn in the tire ,then having to struggle to pull it out ,all without shade has tested the resolve of many.........................
