Welcome to my MDS 2013 blog!

Here I hope to share my experiences preparing for and competing in the 28th edition of the Marathon Des Sables which will be held April 5-15 in Morocco.  The MDS is a six day self supported stage race of approximately 150 miles in length.  Competitors must carry everything with them to complete the event (including food) while water is provided along the way by the race organization.  For more information about the MDS go to their web site here.
