My Marathon des Sables 2023 photos from the last stages 5 (42km) and 6 (9km). Somehow I managed to be last over the line on both stages so ended each one in a party atmosphere. Even spent time with the camels on stage 6. A fitting end to my 3rd full 250km MDS. Just a couple of videos to edit now :-)

I'm sitting at Casablanca airport dreaming of last week. Exactly one week ago I was most of the way through the 90km stage 4. As I had a recent tendon problem in my hip I decided to just walk. No jogging. The 90km took me 32 hours to complete including two stops to eat. During the day it was well over 40C. I was drinking every 5 mins like clockwork and sweating it all off without a p*e. The stage started about 7am and I finished about 3pm the next day. It's truly amazing to go overnight in the desert on your own. Lots of stars, lots of sand, lots of silence. Just your own thoughts for company. Did a wonderful "aeroplane" finish only to find out that the live video was not working. I was 2 hours faster than the last finisher 🙂
