day 1 - its raining very hard... so much so that day 1 has been cancelled. gutted.
we arrived at camp after 7 hours in a bus? and constant rain... we were placed in the tents for 2 hours digging trenches to stop the floods from coming into the tents... in the end we had to be evacuated out of the camp entirely as the whole place started to turn into a river... we got lucky... 7 Brits got stuck and spent a night under water...
its still raining and were all in a hotel... waiting to see whats going to happen. many competitors couldnt get through the roads turned into rivers.
its harsh. after 2 years of training... the Sahara is seeing freak floods... another briefing tonight to see if the race will be re routed. Gutted...
