MDS 2009 - Stage 3

Still waiting for Dan to send through an update, but I thought I would let you all know the great news!

Dan completed the 3rd Stage of the MDS in 17hr 53 min. His overall time is now 28 hr 44min and he is in 349th position out of 812 and this could improve as the night progresses depending on the results of others.

The 3rd stage was the longest in the events 24 year history and Dan has certainly made everyone very proud.

He will have a rest day today before completing the Stage 5 marathon day and Stage 6 final leg.

Hi Dan's mates
My son is in the same tent as Dan and also finished the 3rd stage.
This is what he said to his wife on the phone:-
91k was "honestly, hideous" and like "the D Day landings" Sounded exhausted with a capital EXHAUSTED. His feet are apparently in a bad way as last 10k was all rocks. Had treatment for blisters.
He is full of dread at having to start again tomorrow, but said they start taking the tents down at 5.30 so he'll have to!
He was clearly a very tired bunny - but plans to 'just keep swimming' his personal mantra!
Hope you hear from Dan soon.
