Stage 5 - Day 6 Marathon Day by Travers Bell
Firstly I would very much like to thank Christian and his colleagues at Buncup for setting the Raceblog site up and administering without expectation of thanks. I would especially like to thank Christian for taking my families emails and forwarding them to me. It was a real pleasure to receive them on the day after the long day and kept me going today. Thank you very much.
Today was very hot and only the real runners probably did well. We made good progress for 3.5 hrs and then Chris, bless him, kept me going for the next 3 hrs. I think i may not have drank enough water yesterday and suffered abit as a result.

We are both safe and well in the camp and looking forward to the hotel food and bath tomorrow. We are finding it very hard to eat now as the food is so monotamous - never again the freeze dried food. I am also looking forward to celebrating Easter with my wife and children early next week.
Tomorrow we have 12 miles (20kms) which will not be easy but with luck we should manage.
Best wishes to Kathy for her London Marathon on Sunday. Debbie please phone her and wish her well.
A big thank you to all those who have been emailing me - it has been great.
