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.

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.

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 |

Best of luck in your adventure - and also mental and physical strength.
What is your weekly mileage preparing for something like this? |
