Before I commence posting the latest post of my blog about the last two stages and the 'return to normality I feel obliged to include an abridge...
When I first arrive back in Dubai I felt very depressed and isolated from my friends and family however, one cuddle from wifey and life was all good again. I have missed her. I couldn't do anything without her she is like the oxygen in my lungs; a lifeline...
That said, beer in hand, I turned on my iPod and within minutes I was listening to Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms" and I was in floods of tear. Tent 144, you are my brothers, and sister in arms, but special note to Bob as apart from my "f off for five minutes" comment he got me through that long day when I wanted to check in the towel.
The second reason for this abridge is to include some links:
- One focussing on Jack:
Epic Desert Challenge
- One written by the winner of the women's race:
On Believing- Meghan Hicks
- A link to an article about Jo and Jon (you might need to subscribe to get access):
Local Couple Conquer Desert
- On being there for others during MDS:
Darkness to Light
- website about the stresses, mentally and physically, of doing the MDS and the post-MDS blues:
Post Race Blues
