Personal message:

I did it.  45th out of 157 runners in a time of 42 hours, 27 minutes and 53 seconds.  It was exceedingly painful, but there were a lot of people in worse pain than me. 

To see how it all went, check www.4deserts.com/gobimarch and look through Race Coverage.  I was wearing bib number 174. 

If you want to know how it went, and hear about some of the truly amazing people there, go to www.4desertscom/gobimarch/blogs/ and look for Dan's Big Blog - After the Race. 

Huge thanks to all those people who sent messages of support during the race and followed my progress.  In the dark moments when you think you are on your own, it really helps. 

But I have still not hit £5000.  So tell your friends, and your enemies too.   

Many thanks for your support,

Dan
