Wow, it’s hot at MDS 120 Morocco - 32c in the shade, so nearly 50c under the midday sun. It’s certainly as hot as any first day of MDS Legendary I’ve ever experienced and I only walked CP1-2 and Finish-CP3-Finish as part of the MDS Become-A-Legend Coaching Programme.
I now have a great insight into how much preparation goes into an MDS event and also just how rewarding it can be to fill people’s water bottles and pour ice-cold water on their necks.
Tomorrow is their long day, well I say long day as some of the people who had planned for 60Km are already changing to the 46km option to make sure they finish – and in this heat you can’t blame them.
Overall, the atmosphere is very much MDS Legendary relaxed and a pleasure to be part of.
Onwards.
