Results in from the Namib last night after a very tough stage 1 through the Fish River canyon that saw plenty of competitors withdrawing and some even spending the night down in the canyon!
Ryan Sandes came in 2nd, only 24mins behind a "very determined" Salvador Calvo from Spain. "Ryan confirmed that the canyon section was, “tough, and might have chosen to drive it.” Sandes is running with overstretched ligaments in his right ankle. “At least it isn’t broken,” he said."
Rob come in at 19th positiom overall in a total time of 6h14 and Andrew in 54th in
7h19.
To put it in perspective, the latest runner in in 202nd position finished in 15hrs, 12mins, and according to the web, there is still a competitor out there waiting to come in (this was at about 11pm...)
The webpage is not updated regularly as the organisers are having problems with the reception.
This morning saw the boys starting stage 2 at 9am , another 40km's or so , but hopefully a less technical day !
(Thanks to Eric Tollner for writing the majority of this update!!!)
Cheers Carla
