A paragraph: marathon des sables, confused thoughts EVENING: We have run 132 km so far. We still are in the middle of the ultramarathon. I’ m so tired and I’m looking forward to finish this competition. We have already finished the third stage, and I still have to put up my tent, but I have already done stretching. I think I have drank ten litres of water so far. Today, I haven’t eaten anything yet. This week, the temperatures are so high, but there still hasn’t been wind so far. Fortunately, my body is strong, and I haven’t had pain yet. CONFUSED DREAMING DURING THE NIGHT: Here, the people of the ultramarathon organization are so kind, maybe because we have already paid 3000 thousand euro per person. I don’t think so. I want to go home, I want to see mum, I’m asking myself why I decided to do all of this. Not yet! I must finish this race. I’m having a great time so far. I think I’m so stupid, I’m not a professional runner and I’m not a rich person, and why I haven’t decided to abandon this race yet. Maybe I’m very proud person or I’ve just fallen in love. There is a beautiful competitor but I haven’t talked to her so far,I don’t know why, perharps I’m shy or I’m very excited. But this competitor isn’t a person, it’s a camel, ok, I’m delirious. I’m starving. I still have eaten some pasta. All right, I must concentrate only on the race. I still must run another 132 km, and I want to become the first person from my village that it has finished an ultramarathon so far. ON THE FOURTH THE MORNING: I already got up. I have never had so much energy so far. I still have to finish my warm up. I’m ready to win this competition. I want to beat other Italian competitor, then I’m sure I’ll be a winner, because I’m the best runner in the globe!
