Nicky's MDS (2)

 Found a way to keep this Blog up to date with MDS news.
In the message below Al is Nicky's husband made to sat at home whilst Nicky is away enjoying herself?!!
Al is manning the race HQ in Long Sutton, Somerset.


Nicky's MDS (2):

"Hi all, Al standing in for my mad wife for the next week to 10 days, so I have been allocated the task of keeping you all informed as best I can, in reality I only get the same info as you guys but am under the threat of a thousand cuts if I don't search it out and relay it all in facebook world!

Well Nick arrived safe & well, all this week she has been complaining 'my legs, calves and all sorts of other places ache, pleeeease Alfie will you give me a quick massage' so I do the right thing (whilst watching the football) and give Nick a 40 second massage (effort she calls it). Well it obviously worked 'cos all the aches and pains have disappeared (I have clearly been conned) and this evening she is languishing in a 5 star hotel, relaxing by the pool in 26 degree sunshine with ice cream and a SOFT drink, yes you did read correctly, finally off the alcohol with one day to go!

However reality kicks in tomorrow, they have a 4 hour drive into the desert to their acclimatisation camp, where they do all the registration stuff, jettison all their surplus kit, (Nick has packed & re-packed about 10 times), say goodbye to their suitcases and the last contact with any kind of luxury.

Well that's about it for tonight. I think Nicky is about the most focused and strong minded person we all know, but I also know she is really looking forward to our motivational e-mails, these are passed on to all the masochistic competitors after each stage (via the MDS web site).

Cheers for now

Al
