Good luck! But are you sure its safe to wear your Rolex in the desert? All that sand might scratch the heck out of your watch.

mjclark32 · 26 January 2013, 08:33 PM

Wow, 250k! All the best!

bayerische · 26 January 2013, 08:52 PM

Wow!

Undertaking such a challenge requires supreme mental as well as physical fortitude.

Best of luck in your preparations and for the event itself.

Wow - much luck on the run.

Brunotheboxer · 27 January 2013, 12:58 AM

Good luck. I can't even conceive of doing something like this.

Armyguy03 · 27 January 2013, 01:04 AM

Good luck!!!!! Furthest I've ever done was a 20k Ruck March with a 65 lb ruck sack. Hurt like hell but discovered a lot about myself.

withthesword · 27 January 2013, 03:02 AM

250 km?!?!?!! that's seriously insane!

good luck and be safe!

threemonkeys · 27 January 2013, 03:17 AM

Wow. Just wow. You'll have to post pics.

rr-nyc · 27 January 2013, 03:57 AM

I didn't click the link but is that in one day? I couldn't imagine volunteering to run that kind of distance

Best of luck

kxux · 27 January 2013, 04:15 AM

Best of luck in your adventure - and also mental and physical strength.

What is your weekly mileage preparing for something like this?
