This race is no joke. Running in the sand is way more difficult than I had anticipated, and not just because it slows you down. There is no way to keep it out of your shoes (or hair, or nose…), you sink and slide, passing is impossible along the crest of the dunes, and I definitely saw a few scorpions. By the end of the race I emptied so much sand from my shoes I felt like I had been wandering in the desert for 40 years! I also felt like a freakin’ rock star because this race was AWESOME! And the photos are EPIC
