Nicky has completed two stages and seems to be getting the hang of all that running on sand dunes etc. Here’s a note to help you get info on Nicky’s progress. Alf is putting notes on Nicky’s Facebook page as well.

Click here (http://www.darbaroud.com/) to go to the official MDS web site.
At the top of the page is a union jack flag. Click on the flag to get English language on the page.
There are three boxes. “Write to a competitor.”, if you click here it will open an email box. You might need to scroll down to find the box.
Where it says “number” use the drop down sign at the right of the line and scroll down for number 702. You will find Nicky’s name click on the name and it will insert the name in the email box.
Write in your name and move down to add your email address.
Add a subject of your choice and just type in your message of highly motivational thoughts. I.e., enjoying your holiday on the beach!?
Check and click send.
You should get a message saying it’s on its way.
I guess Nicky should see it Tuesday evening if you send it early Tuesday.
Don’t expect a reply because there only 15 computer terminals and 844 competitors!
On the same web site page you will see "Posy". Click here and you will get a list of competitors and information about their progress. Start time, time at three check points and stage finish time. Try to get it in English. Remember Nicky's number is 702
You can search around for the web cam which only works each day when the first runner arrives at the finish. It should continue till all are in but tonight Monday it appeared to go faulty just as Nicky was due at the finish. You have to work out how long Nicky is going to take on a stage in order to be looking at the right time. Not easy.
There is a competitor tracking system which Alf has got working and I will be trying it Tuesday.
That’s a lot to take in but it should be worth trying it to see this amazing race happening day by day. There a\re great photos as well.
