Dear Laura's readers, this is Emma-Louise, Laura's sister. Whilst we wait eagerly for an official update from Laura in the desert, I thought you would like to know what has been going on. As others went to bed at a more civilised hour last night, Mum, Dad and I remained glued to the internet waiting and watching for the time to appear at each checkpoint next to Laura's name to indicate that she had safely passed through. After a restless few hours sleep and some rapid visible hair loss from Dad (he never doubted her, he's just a good father), we awoke to the news that we had quite literally been dreaming of. Here's what happened...
At 08:35 yesterday morning (Moroccan time) Laura set out on the horrendously gruelling 75.7km leg of the Marathon des Sables. Nearly 21 hours later at 5.12 this morning she crossed the finish line on the hardest day of the 'Toughest Footrace on Earth'. What an achievement!!!! It's not over yet though, she has another 42km to run on Friday which is the last timed leg of the Marathon des Sables. How amazing (and exhausted!) must she feel and how proud are we all?!?! :-D
I shall post any news I receive from her as soon as we get it.
Thanks for reading!
