Logistics And Things

This evening I depart on another adventure. Not sure what is going to happen while I am out in the desert, but, inshallah, I will return with stories, pictures, and memories.

Itinerary:
March 22 - March 27: Paris, France for time zone acclimatization. (I'll have e-mail access)
March 27: Depart for Ouarzazate, Morocco, land, and take 5-hour ride into the desert. Overnight Bivouac.
March 28: Gear and Health check. Overnight Bivouac.
March 29 - April 4: Actual race days.
April 5: Party!
April 6: Head home.

While I am out there with 75 other Americans in a field of 850, you can keep tab of my progress by going to this blog:

I will be able to send out one e-mail a day during to the race and it will be posted on the blog. I can guess that each one during race will be the same: Hot today, lots of sand, got a blister....

Or, I think they will have some sort of updates here:

You can send me an e-mail by going to the website below, follow the instructions, and look for a link that says "write to competitors".

Important -- no attachments and your subject line should read: "Iwan AXT #785".

They print out any mail to me and I read them in between fending off weariness and camel spiders.

See y'all in a couple of weeks!
