I spent Bank Holiday weekend (runs up to last Monday in August in UK, except Scotland), marshalling on Adidas TERREX adventure race in Lake District, north west England. It's not called the wettest part of the UK for nothing...

In 2010 I will be participating in what some refer to as the "Toughest Foot Race in the World", the Marathon des Sables, also known as ‘The Marathon of the Sands'. This is a 240km race across the sands of the Sahara desert in Morocco. This is like doing a marathon every day for six days straight, in the 45 degree heat of the desert.
