The first day and the first 30km of the second day were on rocky, desert ground and a sand dune, but then we hit the salt flats. Salt flats are nothing you can imagine until you get into them. It looks like white rocky ground and you think it will be hard ground, and sometimes it is, but sometimes it's like thick mud. My feet would either sink in a few centimetres and then squelch out or I'd hit an unexpected hard patch and it would vibrate through my body. Every step was uncertain.<br /><br />This photo taken on the last day was a really short section of salt and by then I was running in the salt flats quite well. I guess it took a few days to figure out how to do it!Daniel Rowlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04088268286297317380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673239020904752414.post-7957311428321684102012-04-03T17:41:53.579+02:002012-04-03T17:41:53.579+02:00Cool pics, looks like pretty swak running territor...Cool pics, looks like pretty swak running territory though, but what a challenge.Briannoreply@blogger.com
