Journey to the Sands: Marathon Des Sables Adventure

In May 2010 I made myself a bet that led me to the Marathon Des Sables - over 150 miles across the Sahara - the toughest foot race in the world. The challenge became a reality on 6th March 2014, when I stood on the start line of the 29th edition of the MDS. This blog was designed to document my journey from making that bet to standing on the start line and completing the race. It has also coincided with a desire to rid myself of shin splints and my subsequent adventure into barefoot running.

Team Eire

So then there were 5...

Aside from myself, there are at least 4 other Irish-based runners taking on the 2014 MDS.

Paul aka The Running Firefighter is based in Dublin. Eoin, from Wexford, based in Dublin. Anne Marie from Offaly serving in the Irish Army. Patrick from Cork. And me from Clare, based in Cork. All crazy.
