Stage 5... done (with serious speed!)

It can't be a good sign about my cooking if Rob manages to do so well in the desert without any properly prepared meals , it must mean my cooking really really sucks!

But they did it again!

Brilliant performances on I am assuming on very hungry tummy's! It sounded like a very tough stage (again) with 21kms of mainly dune running.

They are on their way to the finish now - a 10km run to the town of Luderitz where they will be destroying the pizza and beer offered to them as they cross the finish line.

I am so very proud of them - Rob, it seems like he is just getting stronger and stronger as the days gone by. Andrew is also doing exceptionally well and keeps on amazing us all.

If you want to shed a tear or two , go read ryan's blog on his website on his about the 100km stage(www,ryansandes.com ).

I hope to get the results for stage 6 later today . And see them back in Cape Town tomorrow , whooohhooo
